Why not send an email introduction and close things with a digital handshake?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you sell to an industry that has not been directly impacted by COVID-19, then there\u2019s no question: the sales must go on. Thankfully, you have plenty of options available to you, from setting up remote sales meetings to increasing digital outbound efforts.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hans, our Head of Growth, received an email yesterday.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wiza-edge.b-cdn.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/coronavirus-email-markus-1024x233.png\" alt=\"coronavirus email\" class=\"wp-image-569\" width=\"1150\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wiza-edge.b-cdn.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/coronavirus-email-markus-1024x233.png 1024w, https:\/\/wiza-edge.b-cdn.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/coronavirus-email-markus-300x68.png 300w, https:\/\/wiza-edge.b-cdn.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/coronavirus-email-markus-768x175.png 768w, https:\/\/wiza-edge.b-cdn.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/coronavirus-email-markus.png 1217w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1150px) 100vw, 1150px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a customer reaching out directly to ask for help to scale their outbound sales efforts.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The email sparked a conversation among our team this morning: how can we help sales teams continue to excel in these uncertain, overwhelming days?&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll be honest: it\u2019s not a complete game changer. We\u2019re not a food delivery app or telehealth company. We\u2019re a Chrome extension with a very specific use case (sending targeted, excellent cold emails). But I know many sales teams will find value in authentic email introductions when in-person interactions are off the table.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We landed on two ideas, offered for the next 15 days:<br><br>1) 50 free credits for all users, no strings attached, to jumpstart digital introductions.<br>2) Up to 80% <a href=\"https:\/\/wizacredits.samcart.com\/products\/wiza-deal\/\">discount on bulk credits<\/a> to ramp up your outbound sales efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\">Get 50 free credits \u2014 drop us a line in chat.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>or<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/wizacredits.samcart.com\/products\/wiza-deal\/\">get bulk credits<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, credits are only used for <em>valid <\/em>emails with 99% deliverability.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a tough time for business \u2014&nbsp;and we want to help in any way we can.
