Are you tired of spending hours crafting the perfect emails for all your business contacts?

It’s no secret that follow-up emails, thank-you messages, and newsletter invites are a must in the world of business. But let’s be real, emails can be a bit tricky. You want to guarantee that your tone comes across as genuine and friendly, but that’s easier said than done. Unlike a face-to-face chat, emails require extra editing to make sure your message hits just right.

In this article, I’m going to share with you the ultimate guide to crafting killer business emails for every occasion. From follow-up messages to thank-you notes, I’ve got you covered! And the best part? I’m going to show you how to use ChatGPT to take your email game to the next level. Say goodbye to endless hours of writing and hello to custom, beautiful emails that get the job done in record time.

Mastering “Thank You” Emails

When it comes to writing thank you emails, it’s all about personalization and attention to detail. If you want to really impress your contacts, make sure to recall specific details from your conversation and mention them in your message.

Did you chat about some valuable fundraising tips? Drop that knowledge in your email! And don’t stop there, my friends. If there were any action items that came out of the meeting, be sure to include them in your message. Trust me, your contacts will be blown away by your thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Let’s check out an example:

Subject: Thank you from Nick @ Behavior 20/20

We now have a better understanding of how to raise capital and pitch our vision to investors. In fact, we already reached out to Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway.

Don’t Be Afraid To Add Humor

Let’s take a hot second to chat about how to turn your boring emails into ones with more personality than Beyonce. Adding details from the conversation is essential, but to build a human connection, you need to inject some humor into the mix. According to studies from Stanford University, a good laugh can actually lead to more success in business. So, don’t be afraid to loosen up a bit in your emails and add a little bit of playfulness.

Let’s see what happens when I insert a playful sentence into the previous email example:

Subject: Thank you from Nick @ Behavior 20/20

Hi Ellen,

Writing Faster With ChatGPT

I’m sure you’ve heard of ChatGPT by now. ChatGPT is changing the game for professionals looking to up their writing game and create content that resonates with their readers. The key to getting the most out of ChatGPT is to write out your message in your own voice first and then let ChatGPT sprinkle some magic on it.

Let’s not forget about tone — you want to keep things encouraging, professional, and playful. Nobody wants to receive a dull and lifeless email, am I right?

To maximize your use of ChatGPT, keep these five helpful commands in your back pocket to craft the perfect business email every time.

  1. Rephrase this email in the style of Neil Patel: “[insert email]”

  3. Give a few alternative sentences in a professional and playful tone and keep the meaning of this sentence: “[insert sentence]
  4. Give synonyms for the word “[insert word]”
  5. Give synonyms for the phrase “[insert phrase ]”

Sometimes you might need to use a command a few times to nail down the exact text you’re looking for — and that’s totally okay!
