The perfect follow-up email template that boosts conversions exists.

And we have it right here in this article. How did we do it?

We analyzed data of millions of lemlist cold outreach campaigns. And we created the step-by-step instructions based on them.

Outreach Pros have used these 9 templates numerous times, with 42-67% reply rates.

In short: We know what works.

Now, you will know it too.

Use this guide to get more replies from your cold outreach campaigns or any cold email follow-up.

How to follow-up after no response?

Yes, it is good practice to follow up with your prospects, even if they didn’t respond to the first email.

Politely checking back in is a proven way to increase your reply rates and make more sales.

The secret? Keep it short, and don’t pester them.

You may worry that sending follow-ups is too pushy, especially if a lead opened your email but didn't reply.

This must mean the recipient isn’t interested, right?

Not necessarily.

How many email follow-ups is it OK send?

Your recipient may have forgotten to reply or was busy at the moment of reading your email.

Your message might not have been clear enough, or it simply didn’t reach the decision-maker in the company.

To test this, we analyzed the reply rates of millions of cold email campaigns.

The results are in.

We discovered that 4-9 polite follow-ups make up the sweet spot to maximize replies without getting flagged as spam.

A line graph with the title "how many cold email follow-ups should you send?" The Y axis shows the reply rates and the X axis shows the number of follow ups. The reply rate increases with each follow-up.

Why 4-9 follow-ups?

Well, the best average reply rates always come after the first email in a sequence.

After 12 emails, the average reply rate per email decreases steadily.

However, the cumulative reply rate for the campaign increases.

Here’s what that looks like. 👇

A bar graph with the title "more follow-ups get more replies" with reply rate on the Y axis and number of follow-ups on the X axis. It shows that every new email gets 5-10 more replies, and cumulatively it increases the replies for the campaign as a whole

But this does not mean that you should keep sending follow-ups until you get a reply from every single prospect.

After 8-9 follow-ups, there is not a lot of difference between the amount of emails.

It will barely have an impact, and you’ll run the risk of harming your sender reputation.

Everything you need to know about cold email follow-ups

A successful follow-up strategy hinges on three questions:

How will you write the follow-up email?
How many follow-up emails will you send, and how will they be sent?
What are the follow-up email subject lines?

Let's answer them one by one.

How do you write a follow-up email?

In general terms, there are two frameworks that you can master.

Both will help you understand how to write a follow-up, whatever your objective may be.

The reminder follow-up

The first follow-up email example is popularly known as a reminder.

Essentially, what you're doing is reminding prospects about your previous message.

There are several different ways to do this.

You can sum up your previous email and rephrase the important details, or add a goofy meme or GIF to spark attention.

Be creative, as long as your email is still grammatically correct, uses the right transition words and phrases, and is a good match for your target audience.

For example, here’s a short and casual follow-up that got a 33% reply rate:

Hi {{firstName}},
‍
Don't want to be an annoying bore, so I'm sending a quick follow up and leaving you alone afterward.

That's a promise. 😉

Take care,
{{signature}}

Avoid sending messages such as "Just wondering if you saw my last email" if you’ve had no prior connection with the prospect. In most cases, it'll only annoy them.

Every email exchange should sound human and get you one step closer to a fruitful relationship between the prospect and you.

The added value follow-up

Another way to send a follow-up email is to add value with every new email you send.

So, instead of giving all of your information in the first email, you add a bit more with every additional email in your sequence.

If you manage to nail the message and address their pain points accordingly, this strategy will make it harder for them to ignore you.

In both cases, you’ll want to make sure you give enough information without making the email too long.

You’ll see a great example of added-value follow-ups in the templates below.

To skip straight to it, check out this example follow-up email to book a meeting, with a 71% reply rate.

How soon should you send a follow-up email?

For the best results, create a follow-up schedule out of the amount of emails you wish to send (we recommend 4-9), plus the time delay between each email.

Time delays between emails are essential, as you neither want to overwhelm prospects, nor let them forget about you.

Here's one typical framework in our marketing team:

A screenshot of the lemlist campaign modifier. There is an email template included, with 4 scheduled emails. Each scheduled email has a time delay of 2-4 days between each.

2-day delay between emails 1 and 2
4-day delay between emails 2 and 3
4-day delay between emails 3 and 4

Ultimately, you always want to figure out the time between follow-ups that works best for your prospects. Start with this set-up if you aren’t sure, then tweak it as you go to test out different schedules.

Once you’ve set up your schedule, put a system in place to make sure your follow-ups stop after a prospect replies.

If you’re a lemlist user, you can automate this step by going to your campaign settings and telling lemlist when to stop sending your sequence.

How to write a follow-up email subject line

Keep in mind that your subject line is the first thing your prospects see in their inboxes.

So, to maximize your open rate, it should always be short and sharp.

If we're talking about a follow-up after the first email in your sequence, the best way to proceed is to keep the same subject as in the previous email.

This way, all the emails from that sequence will be going under the same thread, and it will be easier for your prospect to follow along.

For lemlist users, all you have to do is leave the follow-up subject line blank, and the rest will be filled in automatically.

In other cases, you may want your follow-up to have a different subject line than the first email; for example, if you’re following up after having already met in person, or if you want the message to stand out from the first email.

In this case, keep these best practices in mind:

✅ Keep your subject line between 1-8 words

✅ Personalize your subject line to your prospects

✅ Add urgency so prospects reply sooner

✅ A/B test your subject lines to pinpoint the best results

2. Follow-up email to book meetings

This cold email follow-up was inspired by one of our users, Jeff Wenzel. It’s a great message to help you book more meetings.

Hello {{firstName}},

We’ve selected {{companyName}} campaign as our weekly “What could this campaign be doing better?” round table.

In essence, we choose one very lucky campaign and go through it top to bottom to see what we could do to help your project grow.

We usually do a brainstorming session with 2-3 people from my team. (I’ve attached a screenshot of our Zoom meeting below.)

5. Follow-up email after an event or a conference

If you’ve already met a prospect in person, you’ll want to send a follow-up to keep them interested.

Despite being a follow-up, it will be the first email sent in your sequence, so treat it carefully. Here’s one example to help you out:

Subject line: Thanks for our chat at {{EventName}}!

Hey {{firstName}},

It was really nice to discuss {{topic}} with you during the conference.

Coming back to the office, I thought this video would be interesting for you to dive even deeper into the subject, since it highlights how {{solution}}.

What do you think?

Talk soon,
{{signature}}

Follow-up email teardown:

If you use this template, make sure not to wait too long to send it. Regardless of the timing, refresh the prospect’s memory of the event with the {{topic}} custom tag.
When you meet in person, if you manage to tease the prospect without revealing your best secrets, this will give you the perfect opportunity to add a link that goes into more detail about what you can offer them.
Tailor your call-to-action to invite the prospect to reply and continue the conversation.

Results: Tested after SaaStock 2019, with a 33% conversion rate

6. The last follow-up template

This follow-up email works great when you notice that the prospect hasn't replied to any of your emails.

Since the recipient probably isn’t the right person to talk to in the company, the idea with this follow-up is to have them connect you with the decision-maker.

Hey {{firstName}},

Apologies for bombarding your inbox like this.

It seems like you’re not the right person to talk to about {{Topic}}. Is there any chance you could let me know who’s in charge of this?

And don’t worry, this will be my last email 😉

Thanks in advance!
{{signature}}

Follow-up email teardown:

This shows you understand that you might have sent too many emails and that you appreciate they've stuck around.
Use the {{topic}} custom tag to make it absolutely clear what your email is referring to, so you make sure that it's easy for your prospect to connect you with the right person.

Whether they answer or not, this message helps establish good relations for the future. You're sending a signal that you are not too pushy and that you are only trying to address the right person.

I’ll be happy to answer any of your questions if you need more details about my profile.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Key takeaways

Here’s everything you should keep in mind about sending cold email follow ups:

You should follow up: Sending 4-9 follow-up emails can increase your reply rates without being spammy, helping you connect with busy prospects who might have missed your initial message.
Test different follow-up strategies: Try reminder follow-ups to stay on prospects’ minds, or value-based follow-ups to gradually share information with each new email.
Time delays matter: Schedule follow-ups strategically with a 2- 4-day gap between emails to avoid overwhelming prospects while staying on their minds.
Write high-conversion subject lines: Maintain a concise subject line consistent with the initial email for follow-ups within the same sequence. For new subject lines, keep them to 1-8 words, personalize them, make them urgent, and A/B test for maximum impact.
Build relationships: To make personal connections with prospects, reference past interactions, use personalized content like images or videos, and write messages that actually sound like a human.

Finally, always remember the golden rule of cold email outreach:

More follow-ups = more replies
