Page 14
Page 15
Why Not?
• Anyone can manage this level of personalization
(copy / paste + find / replace)
• Message is focused on features not benefits
• Bottom line, I didn’t respond
Page 16
LIKE THIS(like this instead)

partner name

Activity data
from analytics
Customer’s
reseller’s name
Works better than “Company”
Region specific
meeting time
Large retail organization,
likely has PCI Compliance
needs
Works better than “Company”
account domain
Page 18
What’s the Difference?
• Really specific merge fields that make the email feel more personal
(reseller’s name, features they are using)
• Proposing a meeting time specific for that customer’s geography
(US, East Coast)
• Information in the P.S. that’s specific to a pain point they likely
experience (PCI Compliance, as a retail shop)

Relationship is holding strong!
05.How to
Get Started
Page 31
Product Usage
Implement a user-based tracking
system (we use Evergage)
Short-term, start storing last login in
your CRM
Page 32
Surveys
Keep it short and survey often
Incentives are great, but interesting
results are even better
Share results with entire audience
Page 33
Conversion Points
Try to gather one additional piece of
information each time
Use the conversion point itself to gain
insights (i.e. what’s the page about?)
Questions?
Thank You!
