On average, sales professionals send 36.2 emails per day and spend 31% of their working time writing them.
No wonder that, due to such time limitations, many employees would just send emails “as is,” without any revision or re-reading.
However, according to a new data analysis from an AI writing assistant Linguix, your sales reps better pay attention to grammar and spelling.
To better understand how this affects sales, Linguix’s team analyzed data from 50,000 respondents.

Key takeaways
- Over 53% of respondents were negative about the possibility of further doing business with a person who sends them emails with grammar mistakes.
- Over 26% will not even bother to reply to such an email. Each time your employee sends a message with grammar mistakes, a quarter of potential leads are cut off straight away.
- What’s more, mistakes or typos in the subject line affect the email open rate. It turned out that almost 25% consider an erroneous title a sound reason not to read the email.
It’s widely believed that non-natives who speak English fluently are better accepted and earn more.
