Have you been into cold emails lately? Well, there you are, wondering if your prospects replied to your previous emails. Hate that uncertainty, don’t you? Why don’t you try follow-up emails? 

Follow-up emails have become an integral component of every cold email campaign nowadays. Such emails are a second alternative when your previous email fails to grab the interest of your prospect. In other words, you are simply checking up on your prospect. 

Now that you are familiar with it, several questions must be popping up in your head. No worries, I have got everything covered! 

 

WHY DO YOUR FOLLOW-UP EMAILS SUCK?

Follow up emails could be really worth your time and effort if you avoid certain mistakes. For starters, your follow up emails should not sound too sales if you are writing to a customer and avoid being pushy if writing to a client. Your prospect probably ignored your first email, thinking it to be one of those useless emails that salespeople send them every hour or some spam email asking them to sign up for something. So, stop being salesy and make your follow-up email customer-oriented or more centralised on your prospect’s interests based on whoever you are writing to. Don’t forget that a follow-up email is the last opportunity to strike up a conversation with your prospect, so don’t lose it by sounding like a salesperson.

Another thing that makes your follow up emails ineffective is not having a proper call to action. Some even forget to include one. Even if your follow-up email succeeds in impressing your prospect, not having a strong call to action leaves your prospect baffled and ultimately, you lose your opportunity. 

 

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO WRITE FLAWLESS FOLLOW-UP EMAILS?

Isn’t that what you have been looking for this entire time? Well, the wait is finally over! Here are a few essentials of an effective follow-up email which will definitely soar up your reply rate:

  • Personalisation

        Annoying, isn’t it? Wherever you go, you come across this one term. Sadly, your emails are nothing without it. While writing a follow-up message, ensure that your writing sounds more human and personal. Don’t make the email recipient feel like they are interacting with a robot. 

 

  • Don’t Wait Much

        The gap between your first email and the follow-up email shouldn’t be too much. For example, if you send a follow-up after 15 days your prospect might have already forgotten about your email. The optimum gap is 2 to 4 days. 

 

  • Brief but Subtle

Lastly, keeping it brief but impactful is what you need. Ask them about any queries or remind them about your brand. Also, exclude certain things like a re-introduction to your company or a long description of who you are.      Those details are meant for your initial email, not the follow-up one.

 

Here are a few follow-up email templates for your reference:
