Follow-Up Templates

Send 3–5 business days after your first email if you received no reply. The majority of replies in a sequence come from follow-ups, not the first email.

Send 5–7 days after your first follow-up. Add new value instead of repeating yourself — share a relevant insight, stat, or resource.

Send as the final email in a sequence (usually email 5–6). Breakup emails consistently generate late replies from prospects who genuinely intended to respond.

Send within 2 hours of a meeting. Confirms commitments, keeps momentum, and eliminates 'what did we decide?' confusion.

Send within 1–2 hours of a product demo, personalized to the prospect's specific questions and use case.

For prospects who went cold after initial interest but haven't fully disqualified. Best sent after 60–90 days of silence.
