Client\u00a0check-ins. Marketing campaigns. Company announcements. The list goes on.<\/p>\n<p>And the <em>effectiveness<\/em> of those emails directly impacts the success of your business. All in all, you&#8217;d be A LOT better off if you were an emailing master.<\/p>\n<h3>Why You&#8217;re Not an Emailing Master<\/h3>\n<p>As we all know, the way to become a master at something &#8211; anything &#8211; is to do it a LOT (which, in the case of email, you already are) and work to continually get better and better at it. The problem is that most financial advisors don&#8217;t &#8220;get better&#8221; at emailing, because you write them, send them, and then\u00a0guess or &#8220;get a feel for&#8221; how effective they are.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you don&#8217;t know <\/em>exactly<em> how your last email performed, how can you possibly\u00a0send a better one\u00a0next time?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the fix: Track what you do. Send emails, track\u00a0your successes and\u00a0mistakes, apply\u00a0your\u00a0lessons from\u00a0those successes\/mistakes, send more emails, rinse and repeat. With this cycle, you can\u00a0increase the effectiveness of every type of email you&#8217;re sending and reap the benefits from your mastery (save time, easily convert prospects, routinely engage clients in meaningful ways, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>The good news is this isn&#8217;t hard to do.<\/p>\n<h3>3 Tools\u00a0To Become an Emailing Master<\/h3>\n<p>Below are the 3 most powerful emailing tools we recommend for mastering email in your advisory business.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; One to help you track the effectiveness of daily correspondence<br \/>\n&#8211; One to provide routine updates to clients and prospects that they actually find helpful<br \/>\n&#8211; One to simplify how you design and track campaigns to bigger lists.<\/p>\n<p>The best part about these 3 tools?
