7 follow up templates for your customers
To
help you send a follow up email to a prospective client or
customer, we’ve prepared 7 templates that you can copy and start
using in your business today, including two examples used by Apple.
Each
template covers a specific part of the customer follow-up process, so you can choose the templates that best
fit the needs of your business.
1. The ‘How Did We
Do?’ follow-up email
So,
it’s important that you solve their issue quickly and efficiently.
Once
their issue has been solved, you can ask them how you did.
2. The ‘Survey’
follow-up email
A
ratings scale is a great way to get high volume responses, but if you’re
looking for more detailed feedback, you can include a link to a survey within
the follow up email.
If
you are unsure what to ask your customers in the survey, here are five example
questions:
1. Are you happy with the
service that we have provided?
2. Was the service
knowledgeable and helpful?
3. Were you served quickly?
4. Did we meet your
expectations?
5. What is the one thing we
can do better?
Google, Typeform and Survey
Monkey all
offer free tools, so creating a survey for your customers doesn’t need to be
expensive.
3. The ‘Just
Checking In’ follow-up email
This
purpose of this email is to delight and surprise your
customers.
Far
too often, businesses sell a product and then leave their customers to it.
To
create an even greater customer experience, include context by adding
the product or service they’ve purchased within the email. which you can import
directly from your CRM software.
4. The ‘Anything
else?’ follow-up email
It’s
common to solve an issue, but not hear back from the customer.
The
“anything else” email acts as gentle reminder on the status of the conversation
and is a great way to close off a conversation with a customer
This
email should also state what will happen to their issue if the email is not
responded to within a specific period.
5. The “Join us” follow-up
email
One
of our loyal readers, Lorie, left a comment asking me how she can follow
up with a customer who has signed up to the freemium version of their
product but has not yet subscribed to a paid plan.
6. (and 7.) The “Thank you”
follow-up email(s) from Apple
Apple
is renowned for being a customer service leader (scoring 93 out of a
score from 100).
So,
when I reached out to their customer service team recently I had high
expectations.
