Tips for Sending Effective Sales Follow-up Emails
- Start with a killer email subject line that grabs their attention
- Make your pitch compelling and personalized
- Time your follow-up email to stay relevant but not feel overwhelming
- Create a consistent cadence and keep following up with every prospect
- Focus on the value that you can create for them
- Inject personalization or points of interest that the prospect mentioned previously
- Look for opportunities to follow-up naturally after an event or trigger
- Keep following up
Here are a few tips to keep in mind.
- Make it easy for them to
respond:
Make sure your subject line and call to action are as specific as
possible. If you send them a wall of text with no clear direction, they aren’t
likely to reply. If you want them to take a certain action – tell them!
- Don’t flag your email as high
priority:
No matter what you’re selling, your follow-up message is probably not a matter of life and death.
If you really want to stand out in your contact’s inbox, take the time to write
a relevant, punchy, personalized subject line.
- Be respectful of their
time:
Give prospect’s a reasonable window of time
before sending a follow-up message. Sending a follow-up email too soon tells
the recipient you don’t respect their busy schedule.
