17 Ready-To-Use Email Templates To Level Up Your Service Business

Chris Moreschi

If you’re like most field service entrepreneurs, chances are you’re already using email to run your business efficiently.

But as effective as email is, it’s not enough on its own.

Why?

Because not only do you need the right email strategy, but you also need the right email sequence.

Send the right emails at the wrong time to a prospect or a customer, and people will unsubscribe from your emails (or worse, do business with one of your competitors).

But if you send the right email at the right time, you won’t just have lifelong customers…

…you’ll earn evangelists for your business.

So you might be wondering, “how do I write emails that get people to take action and when is the best time to send them?”

Well, writing persuasive emails that encourage people to take action isn’t easy, and it’s a skill you need to learn.

In this post, we’re going to share with you 17 proven & ready-to-use email templates for scheduling services, sending estimates and invoices, asking for reviews, announcing new offers and services, and more.

Simply take these email scripts, personalize them with your information, hit send and level up the performance of your local service business.

It’s as simple as that.

Let’s begin!

Sending the right emails at the right time is critical to your field service’s business success.

With the help of these templates, you should find it a lot easier to overcome these challenges.

Overtime, you’ll want to experiment with your email strategy so that you can squeeze out the best results from your campaigns. This might involve changing the time you send emails, updating the subject lines, and even swapping out  the content in these emails.

Of course, that’s something you can focus on later and these templates should allow you to get your desired results in the meantime. Just take action, and you will see your local service business grow to the next level, with the help of these email templates.

Are you ready to take action?
