Sales Enablement: Email Templates

A Message Worth Opening: How On-Target! Helps Sales Teams Win More with Smarter Email Templates

The inbox is a battlefield. Every day, your prospects wake up to a flood of unopened emails, half-hearted follow-ups, and subject lines screaming for attention. They don’t have time for clever. They don’t have patience for fluff. And they certainly don’t owe you their time.

But when the right message shows up—honest, useful, and just human enough to feel real—they open it.

At On-Target!, we write email templates for prospecting, follow-ups, and renewals that actually get read. Emails that sound like people—not bots. Emails that guide the conversation, not force it. Emails that create space for trust to take root.

We don’t believe in hype. We believe in speaking plainly. Honestly. With a little warmth and a lot of clarity. Because the most persuasive email is the one that feels like it came from someone who understands you.

That’s what we help you send.

 

Why Email Still Works—If It’s Done Right

There are a thousand tools out there promising automation, personalization, optimization. And they help. But the truth is, email still comes down to one simple thing: the message.

If your email doesn’t sound like it was written with care—for a real person, with a real problem—it gets deleted.

But if it feels different? If it feels like something they’d forward, think about, or even respond to? That’s when email becomes one of the most powerful tools in your sales arsenal.

At On-Target!, we help you write the kind of email templates that give your team an advantage—at every stage of the buyer journey.

If you did, you’re already halfway to a better conversation. We’re glad you’re here. Because we write emails not just to be opened—but to move people to action.

 

Where We Help Most

We create email templates for three critical moments in your sales process:

1. Prospecting Emails

This is your first impression. You have just seconds to say, “I see you,” not “Here’s what I’m selling.” We help you start conversations with relevance, empathy, and a tone that stands out—because it doesn’t try too hard.

Our prospecting emails are:

  • Short and purposeful

  • Focused on the buyer’s world, not your product

  • Personalized in structure, even when automated

  • Easy to skim, easier to respond to

We also write subject lines that feel honest, not clickbaity. Because a subject line is a promise. And we believe in keeping it.

2. Follow-Up Emails

Most deals don’t close on the first message. Or the second. They close because you stayed in touch—with value, not pressure.

We craft follow-up emails that:

  • Reference the last interaction with care

  • Offer new context or insight—not just a nudge

  • Include links to helpful content, case studies, or next steps

  • Feel timely, not automated (even if they are)

We also help build sequences—so your follow-ups feel like chapters, not copies of the same page.

3. Renewal Emails

Retention is revenue. But so many renewal emails feel like afterthoughts—cold, transactional, or worse, desperate.

At On-Target!, we write renewal emails that feel like a continuation of the relationship—not a billing reminder.

These emails:

  • Reinforce the value already delivered

  • Preview what’s next

  • Thank the customer sincerely

  • Offer options, clarity, and a reason to say yes again

They’re crafted to make your customers feel seen, not sold. And that makes all the difference.

 

The On-Target! Email Writing Philosophy

Our emails are grounded in a few core principles. They’re the same ones that have guided our work for over 20 years, and they’re especially powerful in the inbox:

1. Start with Empathy

Before we say anything, we ask: “What’s this person dealing with right now?” We write from that place—not from your feature list.

2. Use Plain Language

No jargon. No buzzwords. Just words that feel like they came from one human being to another.

3. Give More Than You Take

A good email leaves the reader better than it found them. With clarity, insight, or even just a better way of thinking about their challenge.

4. Be Specific

“Let me know if you have time to connect” doesn’t move the needle. “Can we talk Tuesday at 10:30 or Wednesday at 2?” does.

5. Respect Their Time

We keep things short, thoughtful, and easy to respond to. Because no one needs another 700-word pitch in their inbox.

 

Examples of Email Templates We Create

While every message is customized to your brand voice and goals, here’s a sampling of the templates we help our clients develop:

  • Initial cold outreach emails

  • Follow-up after no response

  • After a demo or intro call

  • Post-event or webinar follow-up

  • Check-ins with dormant leads

  • Nurture emails with value-driven content

  • Renewal notices with soft-sell messaging

  • Customer thank-you emails with upsell options

We also help map these into sequences for HubSpot, Salesforce, Outreach, Mailchimp, and other email platforms.

 

Real Results from Emails That Worked

A SaaS company we worked with used our prospecting email sequence and saw open rates rise by 52%, and replies go up 36%—without changing their list. Just better messaging.

A logistics company was struggling to get renewals until we rewrote their reminder emails with more gratitude, clarity, and context. Their churn dropped by nearly 18% in two quarters.

And a B2B services client used our follow-up templates to warm leads from an expo. Two emails, sent one week apart, brought in $300K of new business within a month.

It wasn’t the timing. It wasn’t the list. It was the message.

 

Why On-Target!?

We’re not an automation agency. We’re not a content mill. We’re storytellers who understand how sales really works—and how hard your team is working to make those conversations count.

When you work with On-Target!, you get:

  • Discovery that actually listens – We ask the right questions and learn your voice.

  • Custom copywriting – Every email is written for your brand, your buyer, and your moment.

  • Testing ideas baked in – From subject line variants to CTA framing, we help you improve performance.

  • Multi-touch sequencing – Whether you need a one-off message or a 7-email drip, we map it out for you.

  • Tone and timing guidance – When to send, what to say, and how to keep things moving.

And most of all? You get messages your team is proud to send—and your buyers are more likely to respond to.
