10 Sales Email Templates to Reach Out to Anonymous Website Visitors (Courtesy of the LF Sales Team)

Want to be a sales superhero? (You can pick your own super-name)

Are you tired of sending hundreds of cold emails only to get one or two bites? Or do you think sending ice-cold emails makes you look a little creepy? I've got good news. 

There's a better way. 

What if those cold leads were a little closer to luke-warm? 

Our lead generation tool, Leadfeeder, gives you x-ray vision by showing you which companies visiting your website — even if they don't fill out a lead gen form, drop an email address to your chatbot, or sign up for a free trial. 🤯

Because they've visited your website, they aren't completely cold leads— but they aren't all warm and fuzzy yet, either. 

To make sending emails to anonymous website visitors easier, we gathered ten tried-and-true email templates our own sales team uses to turn anonymous Leadfeeder site visitors into paying customers.

Where in the funnel is an anonymous website visit?

Where a prospect is in the sales funnel impacts everything about your approach — should you come in hot, play it cool, or aim somewhere in the middle? 

Usually, anonymous website visitors are at the top of the funnel — they've visited your website but haven't connected by signing up for a new trial or downloading a lead magnet. 

However, they are interested — which makes all the difference in how you approach them. 

Come on too strong, and you'll scare them off. Wax poetic about how amazing your tool/service is and you'll bore them to tears. 

Instead, sales emails at this stage should be short, to the point, and provide an actionable next step — sign up for a trial, schedule a demo, or just schedule a call to talk more about your solution. A solid “CTA”, if you will.

Personalize your email with insights from Leadfeeder

Seeing — and targeting— anonymous website visitors allows you to reach leads that aren't quite as chilly. They haven't connected with your company, but they’re a little interested. 

They've at least heard your name and visited your website.

Which is where Leadfeeder comes in.

The beauty of Leadfeeder is in the insights — by seeing what blog posts your leads have read, what pages they’ve visited, and what campaigns they've interacted with, you can better customize cold email template B2B to fit your prospects.

Adjusting your sales tactics using Leadfeeder can be as simple as tweaking the subject from general lead generation to BDR-focused opportunities (if they hit on several business development-related blogs, for example.) 

Or, it can mean taking the time to look them up on LinkedIn so you can add relevant details to your email. Sure, it's still a cold email--but they know your name, so you have a foot in the door. 

Here's the deal — we don't tell you exactly which person visited your website (because that would be weird…), but we can tell you when someone from a company visited your site, what blog posts they read, even if they visited your pricing page. 

And that information makes all the difference when it comes to reaching out via email. 

10 Sales email templates for anonymous website visitors + examples

What do you say when you reach out to an anonymous site visitor? First, let's start with what you don't say.

Don't get super specific, "I saw you spent three and a half minutes on our most recent blog post and then looked at our pricing page for twenty seconds before leaving. I was wondering what about our pricing bothered you?"

Let's not make it weird.

Instead, use the data from Leadfeeder to gently inform your outreach email. Address what industry they’re in, their position (which is likely available on LinkedIn), or mention how you can help their specific company.

Then, take one of the templates below and make it your own. These email templates are all tried and true by our own sales team at Leadfeeder, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn't take the time to make them your own.

Add information about the benefits your tool or product offers, personal details about the lead, and any other information that will help your sales email shine.

1. Sales email template personalized with LinkedIn details 

One of the best ways to make cold emails less cold is by including personal details. This example includes sections to add personal details from Linkedin — but you can also swap those out with details related to blog posts they wrote, news about the company, or public social media accounts.

Hi [Name],

I saw on your LinkedIn that [relevant detail from their LinkedIn profile that shows you did research], and I would love to help you target your [industry/department] efforts more strategically.

At [company], we help companies [pain point your company solves]. Based on what I understand about [lead's company], I think you will see an extremely high [benefit — ROI, increase in leads, etc.] 

I'd love to show you [live data, case study, demo, etc] so you can see how it works.

I have time tomorrow at [one time] or [two days from now] at [two times]. 

When works for you?

Thanks in advance,

[Your name]

2. Sales email template that focuses on benefits 

Most leads don't care much about who you are and what you do — they want to know what's in it for them. This template gets straight to the point by focusing on what your company delivers. 

Hi [Name],

I see that you work in [department] for [company] and I'm reaching out regarding [process your tool/product helps with.] 

[Client's title, such as HR, marketing manager, etc.] often use [your company] when they want to:

3. Sales email template with follow-ups based on lead's response
