Four follow-ups that add something each time

Stay in the inbox without 'just checking in'.

After a proposal, a call or a cold email that got no reply.follow-upemailoutreach

Write a follow-up sequence for someone who has not replied.

Context: <what I sent or discussed, and when>
Who they are: <role, what they care about>
What I offered: <one sentence>
Useful things I can share (articles, examples, a short video, a template): <list what you actually have>
Total window: <e.g. 3 weeks>

Write 4 follow-ups with suggested day gaps. Each one:
- Under 60 words
- Adds something new: a resource from my list, a relevant example, a different angle on their problem, or a smaller ask
- Never says "just checking in", "bumping this", or "did you see my last email"
- Has one clear ask, and makes "not now" easy to say

Follow-up 4 closes the loop politely: I'll stop here, here's how to reach me if it becomes relevant.
After the four, write one line I can send if they reply "not now" so the door stays open.

Replace every <placeholder> with your own details before you send it.

How to use it

1Each follow-up must give something: a resource, an example, a new angle. The model will enforce this if you let it.
2Set the dates in your calendar the day you send the first email.
3The last one really is the last one. Close the loop and mean it.
