<\/a> <\/p>\nTable of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n Before we look at what to do, let me share a few common mistakes I\u2019ve seen (and made myself) with sales email signatures. Avoiding these pitfalls will ensure your signature looks professional and works effectively:<\/p>\n By sidestepping these mistakes, you set the stage for a winning signature. Now, let\u2019s explore some best practices and examples of great sales email signatures that get it right.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n Below are 13 sales email signature tips, including some examples and key takeaways. These aren\u2019t ranked in any particular order \u2014 what works best for you will depend on your role, industry, and personal style. As you read through, think about which elements you can adopt from each to improve your own signature.<\/p>\n I made the signature below in about 60 seconds using HubSpot\u2019s free email signature generator<\/a>. I plugged in my info, linked to a headshot I use on LinkedIn, and instantly got a pretty professional design. There are a bunch of different templates you can use to make it your own, which is why this kind of tool is a great place for anyone to start.<\/p>\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Anyone setting up their first sales email signature or looking to quickly create a polished, on-brand sign-off without wasting a day of actual work.<\/p>\n If you or your company earned an award or special recognition, consider featuring a small nod to it in your signature. Whether you\u2019re an \u201cInc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Company\u201d or you just got recognized by the local paper, showcasing an accolade can instantly boost credibility with prospects. It signals that you excel at what you do without you having to say a word about it in the email body.<\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Anyone with a notable achievement that prospects care about, or someone working at a company that\u2019s received recent accolades. Awards reassure new contacts that they\u2019re dealing with a proven, reputable professional or organization.<\/p>\n Pro tip: <\/strong>Make sure any accomplishments you list are recent enough to still be relevant, and always consider your audience. Showcasing that you\u2019ve made the President\u2019s Club three years in a row is great when you\u2019re applying for a new position, but it rarely adds value for your prospects.<\/p>\n Your email signature is an extension of your company brand, so make sure it looks the part. I use ZoomInfo for prospecting, and through all my interactions with different individuals, their email signature format has remained very consistent.<\/p>\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Pro tip:<\/strong> Particularly if your company hands contacts from one team member to the next (sales > onboarding > account management, etc.), consistent branding is crucial to delivering a great customer experience.<\/p>\n Social proof is crucial, but even the most customer-first companies often forget to ask for feedback and testimonials. That\u2019s why my company\u2019s co-founder puts the request right in his signature, so happy customers are a click away from telling the world. It\u2019s earned us quite a few reviews and has become standard practice on our account management team.<\/p>\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Customer-facing roles like account management, customer success, and more. If you\u2019re doing a home run job, make it easy for your clients to spread the word.<\/p>\n Tired of endless emails to set up a meeting? Include a calendar link in your signature to let people book time with you in just a few clicks. I\u2019ve historically included a link to make things convenient for prospects and avoid any unnecessary back-and-forth, although I\u2019ve recently heard more that some recipients find this pushy. To me, it\u2019s a way to be respectful of everyone\u2019s time, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to agree.<\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Busy salespeople who frequently schedule calls or demos. It streamlines the process and makes it super easy for interested leads to engage with you.<\/p>\n Pro tip:<\/strong> Consider holding the meeting link until the second email. Many CRMs make it easy to choose different signatures for different occasions, so testing this shouldn\u2019t be a major lift.<\/p>\n In HubSpot, it\u2019s very easy to set up multiple signatures and then choose the right one for a given recipient. For example, just by clicking my signature before I send an email, I can adjust from my basic default signature below to a different one depending on the industry I\u2019m prospecting in at the time.<\/p>\n In commercial construction, for example, many of our clients come to us for our recruitment marketing capabilities, so I\u2019ll include a link to a popular blog post on optimizing websites for recruitment<\/a>. Prospects click it, see what we can do, and only then do they respond and set up a meeting.<\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Anyone who values personalization in outreach, which should honestly be everyone at this point.<\/p>\n Your signature can do more than just provide contact info \u2014 it can showcase your expertise and build your credibility. In the example below, Venture Asheville Executive Director Jeffrey Kaplan links his TEDx Talk, How to Build a Better Entrepreneur<\/a>. I was curious enough to check it out and learned a lot.<\/p>\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Pro tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019ve got some published thought leadership, consider linking to it \u2014 just make sure you think about who will be reading your emails and make sure the content will be relevant for the majority of recipients.<\/p>\n Keep contacts in the loop by using your signature to promote new products, features, or content. A sales rep from Canva did this well: Her signature included a short note and link about their new mobile app. It subtly informed me of their latest offering without a dedicated email.<\/p>\n You can do the same by linking to your newest blog post, a product update, or an upcoming feature launch. It\u2019s a low-key way to spark curiosity about what\u2019s new at your company.<\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Teams with frequent updates or launches. Every email becomes a chance to share a bit of news and drive traffic to your latest content or product page, without any extra effort.<\/p>\n A one-line value proposition or mission (even paired with a small award badge or certification) acts like a mini elevator pitch, giving recipients a quick sense of what you or your company delivers beyond just your job title.<\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Entrepreneurs, consultants, or reps with a strong value prop. A good slogan is an effective way to reinforce your key message or promise on every single email touchpoint.<\/p>\n Your signature can be a great way to boost attendance for upcoming events, helping you generate additional leads without additional work. I\u2019ve had plenty of contacts sign up for an event after noticing the invite in my email signature, and it can make the invite feel more personal than the ones in your formal marketing emails. Just remember to update or remove the line after the event is over!<\/em><\/p>\n Pro tip:<\/strong> UTM links are a great way to track any signature CTA, including how much event attendance your signature is generating.<\/p>\n Business is personal, but email often isn\u2019t. That\u2019s why including a small, professional headshot in your email signature can be so powerful. In the example below, Donald Kelly, founder of The Sales Evangelist, includes a sharp photo, a link to his website, and social media icons to guide his peers to other channels of connection. This signature is friendly and invites the reader to connect over more than just email.<\/p>\n Source<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Sales reps who want to build trust and personal connection, especially when working with clients remotely. A photo humanizes your outreach, making you both more memorable and more approachable.<\/p>\n Sometimes, less is more. A minimalist email signature \u2014 just your name, title, company, and perhaps one contact method or link \u2014 can look clean and professional. It also eliminates any risk of images not loading, since pure text will always show up.<\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Professionals who prefer a no-nonsense approach or work with executive-level clients. A clean signature is universally appropriate and keeps the focus on the content of your email.<\/p>\n On the opposite end of the spectrum from minimalism, I\u2019ve seen GIFs included in signatures that were eye-catching and effective. When a colleague of mine embedded a clickable thumbnail in her signature that opened a 30-second intro video, she saw an uptick in responses. You could do something similar by linking to a short welcome video or a one-minute product demo.<\/p>\n Best for:<\/strong> Reps who want to create a more personal connection or showcase their product directly.<\/p>\n Pro tip:<\/strong> This innovative touch can set you apart in an industry saturated with plain text signatures, but pay close attention to deliverability to ensure you\u2019re not getting dinged.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re hungry for more ways to improve your sales emails, HubSpot has a handy resource with 23 sales email templates<\/a> proven to get high open rates.<\/p>\n\n
