If you use the same phrases over and over again in your communication with your clients, snippets are the way to go. These snippets are simply short sentences, or even small paragraphs that you tend to use often, which can be saved and then reused when needed - saving you a bunch of time.
Some examples:
1. Introducing yourself in an email "Hi there, my name is John and I am the Sales Manager here at Novaburst Inc.
2. Sending information in an appointment invite "Here is a brief agenda that I am proposing for our first meeting"
