1. Know the Interest Level of Your Buyers

With email tracking, you instantly know what your buyers care about and which recipients are your hottest leads.

And the best type of email tracking software gives you more than just read receipts.

With Yesware’s Email Tracking, you get notified when recipients read your emails, click on links, or view attachments. All right from your Outlook or Gmail inbox.

In your Activity Feed, you get real-time insights and a full breakdown of each tracked email. You’ll find this information just one click away.

To get this information, all you need to do is spend 60 seconds to add this tool to your inbox. From there, tracking happens automatically.

2. Follow Up When You’re Top of Mind

Email tracking software also gives you the ability to time your follow-up perfectly.

You’ll get real-time notifications whenever prospects open and read emails or click on links so you can follow up at the right moment.

For example, you can time your calls once buyers are engaging with your emails so your offer is already top-of-mind. This also helps you connect on your recipients’ time and schedule, when they’re the most active.

Email tracking keeps tabs on who replies and who doesn’t, letting you set follow-up reminders to yourself that trigger only if they don’t reply.

This way, you’ll always be on top of your follow-ups and never let things slip through the cracks again.

3. Find Out Which Email Templates Work Best to Boost Open & Reply Rates

The best way to increase your email opens and replies is to A/B test your messaging to see what is/isn’t resonating with recipients.

You can test variations in your email templates, like:

• Subject line
• The first line (which becomes preview text for your recipient)
• Body format
• Email signature

Also, test different send times for your emails so you know when prospects are most likely to open.

The best part is that Yesware’s robust reporting easily pinpoints your best emails and tells you which email templates get the highest open rates and reply rates. For both yourself and your sales team.

From this data, you can dissect what messaging needs work and how:

• If the recipient didn’t open your email – your subject line isn’t engaging enough.
• If the recipient opened your email but didn’t respond – the content of your message isn’t captivating enough/it didn’t resonate.
• Or if the recipient opened your email and clicked on a link or attachment but didn’t respond – your message resonated with them and they wanted to learn more. But then some hesitation sank in, or they weren’t ready to make a decision just yet.

You can gauge the above information and more with Email Tracking and Reporting, all included with Yesware.

Next steps: Try sending two different subject lines with the same body to see which email gets the most opens.

4. Know Which Content Prospects Find Most Interesting

Yesware’s email tracking software doesn’t just track email opens and link clicks, you can also track attachments and presentations.

With attachment tracking, you know which pieces of content and sales collateral are the most interesting to your prospects.

This way, you can shape your follow-up accordingly so you cater to their interests.

Presentation Reporting shows:

1. How many people accessed the presentation
2. The total number of views it received
3. The average time spent viewing

You can also see how long it’s been since each person viewed and their completion rate:

These engagement metrics will also help you edit/make adjustments to your attachments to help create highly converting pieces.

The insights will help you craft your next outreach or follow up in a way that resonates best with your prospects.
