Resending an email is the most unlikely situation that you, as a marketer or sales professional, might have to go through while sending your emails. Generally, you don’t have much time to draft, write, edit, and send the email again.  

Resending an email during this time comes in handy, and in this blog, we will share with you the best technique to do the same.  Here are two ways to resend an email that you have already sent.

1. Modern way to resend an email in Gmail

This is our recommended way to resend an email because it is easier and quicker. In this entire process, templates will play a key role as you just need to create them once, and then you can keep re-using them until you want.

In this method, we will be using Saleshandy – a cold emailing outreach tool that is designed for professionals like you to run successful outreach sequences and close more deals. 

Here is how you can create templates & use them in Saleshandy.

1. The first step will be to create your Saleshandy account and connect your email account. You can easily sign up from here for free.

Creating templates eliminates the need to re-write emails over and over again. You can use them whenever you want, but here is the best part: Saleshandy offers template analytics that helps you analyze each template’s performance.

The analysis makes it clear whether your prospects are interested in your product/service. Using the information, you can change your approach to catch your prospect’s attention perfectly.  

2. Gmail’s native method to resend an email

It is a tiring task to resend an email with Gmail if you follow the traditional formula especially when you have to resend several emails frequently.

Answers to your questions like – “How to resend an email in Gmail?”, “How can I send an already sent email again through Gmail?”, etc. is finally here.

Step 1:  You have to go to your sent emails folder in Gmail, which is usually clustered and not a very fun place to go to.

Step 2:  Find the email you’d like to resend.

Step 3:  Open the message you want to resend.

Step 4:  Copy the message and paste it in the compose box.

Step 5:  Enter the name or email of the prospect.

Step 6:  Hit “Send” and you’re finally done.

The entire point of resending an email is for the process to be easy and effective. The native method is a really slow and tiring process, especially if you manually do it repetitively.

Luckily, there are tools that will let you resend any email with ease and effectiveness. 

Saleshandy is one tool that makes this process smoother and saves you many more hours. And besides this, you can add more features and functionality to your emails to meet the end goal of your outreach.
