Writing exercise

Dear Luo,

I hope you had the opportunity to review to my previous email indicating that we would like to feature Dowsure Technologies in our upcoming annual special edition on Insurance Tech as one of the “Top 10 Insurance Tech Solution Providers 2019”.

I would very much like to discuss this further and schedule a call to discuss, How Dowsure Technologies got shortlisted for this opportunity and how this opportunity can impact and increase your sales conversion ratio.

Our existing clients have not only benefited by this exposure in the magazine, most importantly they have used the reprints to assist them in their sales and marketing activity which in-turn gave them a jump in their lead conversion ratio.

I am sure you can envision that this opportunity will enhance your public relations and extend your existing marketing plan. I would like Dowsure Technologies to take advantage of this effective lead conversion opportunity at the earliest.

Since this is a time-bound opportunity, I would like you to suggest a good time to discuss this further on the phone sometime this week.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm Regards,
Keli
