Wednesday 24th October 2018, 10.30am – 11.00am
Bristol-based digital marketing agency Noisy Little Monkey will be hosting this not-to-be-missed event.
The Wolf of Wall Street tells us selling utilises the finer elements of psychology, while the BBC’s White Gold shows us if science is employed, it’s basic at best. The truth is somewhere in between… and in those emails you send to would-be clients, there is a certain science to getting the response you’re after. In an age where most sales emails are personalised templates, getting things wrong can be catastrophic.
Noisy Little Monkey’s Technical Director Jon Payne will be revealing the secrets behind what a successful sales email strategy looks like so that you can crush those targets.
