What are the key steps for successful
BtoB email prospecting?
Certain factors determine the opening rate: knowledge of the sender, trust in the sender, relevance of the subject and customisation of the subject. To optimise the opening rate and succeed in your BtoB prospecting, you must approach the customer with care.
Accurately determine the target of your BtoB prospecting
To obtain a good opening and conversion rate, it’s crucial to target the right prospects. Rather than opting for a paid list of contacts that quickly turns out to be obsolete, you should prioritise quality over quantity.
Targeted prospecting prevents your emails from being intrusive, seen as spam and ending up in the trash.
Targeting leads that are interested in the solutions you offer is key to the success of your marketing strategy.

Personalising the message is one of the keys to increasing the opening rate. According to Hubspot, an email that includes the recipient’s first name increases the click rate from 5.8% to 7%.
It begins with the subject of the email, which must be concise and catchy, without overdoing it, otherwise it will be classed as spam. The body of the email must be clear, personalised and consistent, offering a useful solution to your prospect.
Finally, do not neglect the power of calls to action and personalise them according to the aim of your marketing campaign (newsletter registration, download a file, etc.).
