Email 1: Same day

When to use: Send right after a demo or signup, while the conversation is fresh.

Hi [First name], thanks for the time today. As promised, here is [resource or recap].

Email 2: Day 3

When to use: A light nudge when the first email got no reply.

Subject: Quick one, [First name]

When to use: Add proof: show how a similar company won.

Subject: How [similar company] solved [problem]

Email 4: Day 12

When to use: The break-up: easy to reply to, leaves the door open.

Subject: Should I close your file?

Hi [First name], I do not want to keep cluttering your inbox. If now is not the right time, no problem. Just reply later and I will check back next quarter.

Frequently asked questions

How many follow-ups is too many?
Four is a good ceiling for most B2B sales. The break-up email often gets the highest reply rate.
Should I automate this?
Yes, but keep it personal. Automate the send and timing; personalize the opener and the proof line.
When do I stop?
The moment they reply, or after the break-up email. Then move cold leads to a nurture list, do not delete them.
