As a freelancer working remotely, I treat every email as a reflection of myself and how I will treat the client’s project.
So I’d spend hours writing well-constructed, detailed, concise emails to my clients. While they appreciated this, it was incredibly time-consuming and cause unnecessary cognitive overload.
After a while, it was no longer sustainable to spend so much of my time writing emails, but they were more necessary than ever. I knew there had to be a solution.
That’s when I discovered the power of email templates. The Yesware extension for Google Chrome adds a special button to your Gmail Composer that allows you to create email templates like the ones you’ll find in this download. I’ve even included a demo video to show you exactly how I use it.
Note: You do not need Yesware to use email templates. You can store them anywhere and paste them into any email composer as needed.
