In summary: the more frequent the communication, the more useful the examples!¶
The quality of a professional email example depends closely on the context in which it is requested. Email programs offer the ability to save templates, making it convenient to have multiple standard emails of varying lengths available for cold prospecting. The primary objective remains to maintain maximum commercial utility, adapting effectively to different recurring situations.
However, in cases of unforeseen situations, it is better to adapt the emails individually, especially if it is, for example, an email to present an apology. But here too, we have tailored advice for writing the perfect apology email!
