The #1 Way to Get A Reply Back: Follow Ups

I rely on a system of followups to get a yes or no from potential customers. I send about 5 cold emails to prospective customers and 5 warm emails to existing customers (the ones on my free plan) everyday. I like to find out how we can help businesses with our products.

People Fail. Systems Don’t.

People are busy. Their Inbox is overloaded. It is my job to remind them that I still exist and can help their business. That is why I created a simple system that reminds me to followup with potential customers 3 times over a 6 week period.

My Easy To Use FollowUp System

My system can easily be replicated if you want to use it. I use a free service called FollowUpThen.

All You Need to Do is Add FollowUpThen to the BCC field

1. 1st Contact Email, BCC “2days@followupthen.com”
(FollowUpThen sends me a reminder in 2 days)

2. 1st Follow Up Email, BCC “nextweek@followupthen.com”
(FollowUpThen sends me a reminder in 1 week)

3. 2nd Follow Up Email, BCC “next month@followupthen.com”
(FollowUpThen sends me a reminder in 1 month)

I use GMail, which uses conversation mode, so each followupthen reminder is sent in the same thread. Making it super easy to find the email you need to follow up with!

Customers very rarely email me back on the first email. Almost always I get a reply to the 1st follow up.
