"Follow Up" Sales Email That Doesn't Suck

Business professionals are writing (emails and text messages) more than ever before. We tend to also get caught in "voicemail dungeon", with no hope of catching people in their office. Today its more and more difficult to capture a prospects attention, yet alone a response back.

Hi John,

I tried reaching out to you a couple of times and haven't heard back. Unless you tell me otherwise, I will assume you are all set for the September study. If at any time you want to resume conversations about us helping you with one or all of your projects, certainly feel free to call me.

Warm regards,

Seth

To building your network and your profits.
