Hi {{first_name}},
It was such a pleasure to meet you at the RW Networking Event yesterday. Thank you so much for your time and for sharing your stories about how you broke into product management - such valuable insight as I start my own career journey!
If it's OK with you, could we stay in contact if I have any questions?
Thanks again!

Hey {{first_name}},
It's been a while! It looks like you've been doing some exciting things since we worked together at [[company]]. How is your [[current job]] going?
I'm sure things are busy, but is there a day soon when you might be free to catch up over lunch or coffee? It'd be great to reconnect. I hope you've been well.
Take care,

Hi {{first_name}},
It was a pleasure talking with you last night at [[event name]]. It was so interesting to learn [[something you learned about that person or their business that stuck out to you]]. As for grabbing a coffee some time, I'd love to take you up on that!
Do you have any availability this or next week? Good times for me are [[let the good times roll here]], but I will be glad to work around your schedule. Let me know if there are any days or times that work for you.

Thanks for your help,

We are in the process of closing files for the month.
Typically when I haven't heard back from someone it means they're either really busy or aren't interested. If you aren't interested, do I have your permission to close your file?
If you're still interested, what do you recommend as a next step?
Thanks for your help.
Hey {{first_name}},
I can imagine you are probably fairly busy but I thought I would circle back in case you missed my first email.
We are a specialised search firm that is looking for engineers like you at a great company that is backed by some of the best investors and growing at a breakneck speed. We think you perfectly fit the bill and we would love to chat with you about it.
Would you be able to take 10-15 minutes out to chat about this role. I promise I won’t waste your time.
Thanks,

Hey {{first_name}},
Haven't heard back yet, so I'm assuming this isn't a priority at the moment.
Please feel free to reach out if that changes. Would love to give you a quick look at the platform and show you what agencies like [[AGENCY 1]] and [[AGENCY 2]] have been able to do for their clients using Cloutly.
Until then, all the best.
Hope you're doing well {{first_name}},
Do you know why the pea was meditating?
To find his 'inner peas'.
Getting back to the present, did you get a chance to see my last email?
Namaste,

Hi {{first_name}},
Just wondering: are you interested in receiving our emails in the future? You may be busy as hell for writing a long response, so all you need to do is to send one number:
1 — I am unavailable now, follow up again sometime.
2 — I am not interested in your solutions.
3 — Can I find out more about the offer?
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely

The subject line is the first thing your prospects see, and they may decide whether or not to read your emails based on the subject line only.
So try not to be too obvious by having “Follow-up” or “Just checking in” as subject lines for your follow-ups. Be a bit more creative and write a catchy copy that makes users open your email.
These are the key rules to follow while writing subject lines for your follow-ups: make them personal, keep copy short, ask intriguing questions.

At Hunter, our key rule is to focus on writing irresistible emails instead of adding too much follow-ups. So we recommend limiting to three follow-ups for your cold email campaigns. If you are sending too many follow-ups to someone who’s never heard about you, you may seem an annoying person and damage your company brand.
If you still feel three follow-ups is not enough or that you can provide more value/spark interest for your prospects—don’t hesitate to use other channels. Twitter or LinkedIn could easily help you to deliver your message on a personal level.

Around 90% of emails are opened on the same day they are sent. The same for the responses—the chances are that your prospects get back to you the same day your campaign was sent are much higher.
So don’t wait for too long to send your follow-up email. Typically, 2–5 days is the best timing to remind prospects about your offer.
