Give your emails a personal touch

To stand out in the minds of your prospects and ensure every interaction contributes to building strong connections, your emails must be unique but consistent in their style. Personalize every aspect of your email from the fonts you use, to the signature used for every email alias you use to establish your brand presence and build your relationships with your prospects.

Make sure the right users can access the right emails

Depending on the roles of your CRMs users and the nature of your email communications, you may want emails to be available to every user in your CRM, or keep them confidential and only available to a small group of key decision makers. Zoho CRM makes it easy to define your email sharing policy at the organizational level for each role and update the policy for users in bulk, so you can quickly set email sharing permissions for new employees or update them when users move to different roles in your CRM system.

Email analytics incorporating sales figures

Your email client's analytics can often be incomplete because you can't compare them against actual sales to figure out how your emails are benefiting you. Zoho CRM creates individual email reports for each salesperson based on the number of emails they've sent on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Analytics show you how many of these emails brought in leads, closed deals, and even how long it took to do so. You can also use data to identify inactive prospects based on the latency of their responses.
