# HubSpot Email Templates & Snippets Guide

HubSpot's Gmail integration provides two distinct content tools for sales outreach: **Templates** and **Snippets**. Understanding the difference helps reps build a reusable content library that keeps messaging consistent and saves time during high-volume outreach.

## Templates vs. Snippets

| Feature | Templates | Snippets |
|---|---|---|
| **Scope** | Full email, top to bottom | A sentence, paragraph, or short block |
| **Use case** | Standardized, repeatable emails | Reusable inserts dropped into any email |
| **Keyboard shortcut** | No (select from menu) | Yes (shortcut to paste inline) |
| **Example** | "Thank you for speaking with me today…" | "Click here to book a meeting with me." |

Both are accessible from the HubSpot toolbar inside Gmail. To access:

1. Click **Compose** in Gmail.
2. In the HubSpot toolbar at the bottom of the compose window, click **Templates** for full emails.
3. Click **More → Snippets** for reusable text blocks.

## Recommended Templates to Build

These templates map directly to the [[wiki/knowledge/sales-enablement/sales-cadence-workflow|Sales Cadence Workflow]] touchpoints:

### Cold Outreach (Initial Email)
A first-touch email introducing the company and prompting a reply or meeting. Should reflect the team's established tone — review Mark's cold outreach examples before drafting.

### Voicemail Follow-Up
Sent immediately after leaving a voicemail. Content is highly repeatable and well-suited to a full template. Example structure:
> "Hi [Name], I just left you a voicemail — I'd love to connect about [value prop]. [Snippet: meeting link]"

### Post-Meeting / Thank You
Sent after a qualification call or proposal meeting. Example opener:
> "Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today…"

### Website / Form Inquiry Response
For inbound leads who submit a form. Example opener:
> "Thank you for visiting our website and reaching out…"

## Recommended Snippets to Build

Snippets are best for phrases that appear across many different emails:

- **Meeting link CTA** — "Click here to schedule a time that works for you: [link]"
- **Voicemail notice** — "I left you a voicemail earlier today and wanted to follow up here as well."
- **Value proposition one-liner** — A brief, consistent description of what the company does.
- **Opt-out line** — "If you're not the right person for this, feel free to point me in the right direction."

## Style Guidance

All templates and snippets should align with Mark's established cold outreach style. Before finalizing any template:

1. Review the cold outreach email examples Mark provides.
2. Match tone, length, and CTA structure to existing examples.
3. Ensure the voicemail follow-up template is consistent with the finalized voicemail script.

## Integration with the Sales Cadence

Templates and snippets feed directly into the HubSpot sequence enrolled via the [[wiki/knowledge/sales-enablement/clay-zoominfo-hubspot-lead-gen-workflow|Clay → ZoomInfo → HubSpot Lead Gen Workflow]]. Once contacts are synced to HubSpot, they are enrolled in a sequence that relies on these content assets at each touchpoint.

See the full cadence structure in [[wiki/knowledge/sales-enablement/sales-cadence-workflow|Sales Cadence Workflow]].

## Status

| Asset | Status |
|---|---|
| Call script | Drafted — pending Mark's feedback |
| Voicemail script | Finalized |
| Cold outreach template | In progress — awaiting Mark's examples |
| Voicemail follow-up template | In progress |
| Snippets (meeting link, etc.) | In progress |
| Outbound email sequence | Not yet started |
