Follow-ups

Follow-up after no response

A short, polite nudge for when your first cold email got no reply, adding something new each time.

Subject
Re: [your first subject line]
Email
Hi {{firstName | there}},

Following up on my note below in case it got buried. In short: [what you help with, in one line].

Is this worth a look for {{companyName}}, or not a priority right now?

{{sendingAccountFirstName}}
Follow-up 1
Hi {{firstName | there}}, one example in case it helps: [a short result for a similar company]. Happy to share how, if useful.
Follow-up 2
Hi {{firstName | there}}, is someone else at {{companyName}} better placed to look at this? A name is plenty.
Follow-up 3
Hi {{firstName | there}}, I'll leave it here so I don't fill your inbox. If [the problem you solve] comes up later, just reply and I'll pick it up.

How to use this template

  1. Replace every [bracketed] part with something true about you or the person you're writing to.
  2. Give every {{field}} beyond the standard ones (first name, company) its own column in your lead list, or a fallback after a bar. In mailzy, a lead whose field is empty and has no fallback waits instead of going out with a gap.
  3. Send the follow-ups as replies in the same thread. We wait 3, 5 and 7 days between them.
  4. Check how it reads for real leads with the merge tag preview, and send it to yourself first.
  5. Test it on a few hundred people in one niche and judge it by replies, not opens.
