Recently a friend of mine moved to Ojai, and I wanted to reach out and make an impression. So I decided to send him an Ace of Sales Email Greeting and give him an ‘Ojai Five.’

Making this customized image only took a few minutes. I’ll walk you through how to customize your own photos in 10 simple steps.

This also adds your image to your Ace of Sales account, so anytime you want to send a ‘High Five’ image, you can send this to another friend.

10. Write Your Message And Send!

Now I can add a subject line (I like ‘Ojai Five’ for this one), customize my text in the body of the message, and send away.
