The template

Subject: Re: {{original_subject}}

Hi {{first_name}},

Wanted to bump this to the top of your inbox in case it got buried.

Still interested in exploring whether {{value_prop}} makes sense for {{company}}.

Happy to keep it short — does {{day}} or {{day_2}} work for a 15-minute call?

{{sender_name}}

How to use it: Replace all {{placeholder}} variables with specific details before sending. The more specific your replacements, the higher your reply rate.

  • 02Do not apologize for following up.
  • 03Offer specific days/times to reduce friction.
  • 04Send in the morning of the prospect's timezone.

Finding verified emails for this template

A great template only works when it reaches a real inbox. Before sending, make sure you have a verified email address for each prospect. emailfinder.dev finds professional emails by name and company domain, LinkedIn URL, or decision-maker role — and confirms each address is deliverable via live SMTP before returning it.
