Appropriate to Send an Email Follow Up
Some messages are so important that you need
to make sure they aren't missed. For those messages, it's a good idea to send a follow-up message.
Potential job.
If you've sent out a resume or applied for a
job, a follow-up email that further explains your qualifications may be what it takes
to impress a recruiter and get noticed.
Possible sale.
A surprising reason many sales people fail is
that they never follow up with a prospective client. They make the sales with prospects
that are ready to buy right away, but miss out on future sales.
Meeting request.
If you've requested a meeting with someone and
they haven't responded, follow up to find out whether they can attend or whether the meeting
needs to be rescheduled.
Communication with supervisor.
Work-related emails are usually important. If
some time has passed and your supervisor hasn't responded, follow up. They may have overlooked your email, or it might have been
caught in their Spam filter.
Project-related communication with peer.
In most companies, you're part of a team. Your
success depends on your ability to communicate. If a team member isn't responding, you need to find out why.
