When should I send a follow-up?

There are many times you should send a follow-up email, such as:

  • After a successful meeting
  • When updates are made to a project plan
  • Kicking off a relationship after a conference or networking event
  • You’ve tried other methods of communication that have proven unsuccessful

But, not all those kinds of follow-ups are going to drive revenue. Since you run a business (or work for one), you want to focus on what matters: sales and revenue.

Follow-up email subject line templates

You came here for templates, and hopefully you downloaded them already! But what you may not know is that the most important part of an email is the subject line.

To get your follow-up emails opened, you need to decide which way to go with your subject lines:

  • Very literal- “Terry, following up on our proposal review”
  • Inciting curiosity in the subject line

The literal and direct subject lines are likely to get opened because the receiver immediately knows what the email is about.

But what about the second option? How do you create curiosity in the recipient so they can’t help but open?

Here are 5 ways:

  1. Ask a curiosity-inducing question
  2. Start a sequence of events, but don’t finish
  3. Do something unexpected
  4. Imply you have info they don’t
  5. Imply they used to know something that they’ve since forgotten

Once you’ve crafted a compelling subject line, use your new (free) follow-up template for the body of your email.
