What to Say and How to Pitch the Value (Sales Script)
When speaking to customers:
- Would you like to use your own domain name for your email, like [email protected]?
- Do you want a secure, professional email that syncs with Outlook and your phone?
- Would you like something better than free Gmail or webmail with better storage, security, and support?
| Customer Pain Point | How Email Exchange Helps |
|---|---|
| Free email looks unprofessional | Build trust with a custom domain email |
| Spam or unreliable delivery | Built-in protection and uptime |
| Can’t sync with phone or desktop easily | Outlook & mobile sync |
| Sharing tasks and calendars | Enabled in Premium & Business |
