Importance of Emails in Initial Sales

Developing an initial sales process in your business can help you from the ground up.

Apart from early rejections, a personalized email suiting the prospects' preferences can hopefully let you push your product harder into the market.

While sending these emails, you will get a good sense of the challenges and objections you might face in the process. It is also a good way to get direct customer feedback about your product.
