Power-up Your Email Campaign With Yesware

Yesware is an email productivity service that covers real-time email tracking, presentation and tracking analytics, customizable templates for email creation, and CRM integration to help salespeople communicate more efficiently with their clients. It allows users to see whether their emails are opened and which customers click the links. It works as a browser extension or plugin for Chrome and Mozilla and functions under your existing email client.

Currently, Yesware supports 700,000 clients, and some noteworthy names are IBM, Zendesk, Groupon, eBay, AdRoll and New Relic.

How does Yesware Work?

Similar to other email newsletter services, Yesware uses a tracking pixel embedded in the message. It is designed this way so that salespeople can focus on one-on-one communication because it lets them know the exact moment when people are opening their messages. As a user, you will get notifications or popups showing if someone opened your email and what device they are using.

Prescriptive Analytics for Better Decisions

Yesware provides you data that shows what happened and what you should do next through prescriptive analytics. With a data-driven approach, you can determine who among your prospects are highly engaged and most likely to close.

Through Yesware’s activity and engagement report, you can see who among your prospects are still engaged so that you can keep pursuing them. In short, you won’t be wasting time on prospects that are unlikely to buy.

As a manager of a sales team, you get one-on-one reports on your rep’s email, phone and meeting activities in a month to date basis. It gives way to proper coaching and corrective measures to improve everyone’s performance.

Through the user activity dashboards, you can see how each rep is performing and pinpoint what drives their success to setup a system of best practices for everyone’s benefit.
