Invoice [[invoice number]]: open to a payment plan

Hi {{first_name}},

I understand that cash flow can be unpredictable. If paying Invoice [[invoice number]] ([[amount]]) in full right now isn't feasible, I'm open to discussing a payment schedule.

Could you let me know what timeline would work on your end? I'd rather find a solution that works for both of us than let this sit unresolved.

Invoice [[invoice number]]: final notice before next steps

Hi {{first_name}},

This is a final notice regarding Invoice [[invoice number]] for [[amount]], now [[number]] days overdue. I've sent several reminders without a response.

If payment is not received by [[date]], I will need to [[specific consequence per your contract: apply the late fee outlined in our agreement, refer this account to collections, or engage a third party for resolution]].

I'd much rather resolve this directly. Please reply with a payment date or call me at [[your phone number]] to discuss.

Something relevant to the [[project name]] proposal

Hi {{first_name}},

Since I sent the [[project name]] proposal, we wrapped up a similar project for [[case study company or anonymized reference]]. The result: [[one-sentence outcome, e.g., "a 40% reduction in onboarding time within the first quarter"]].

I can share more details if it helps build the case internally. Let me know.

Quick note on the [[project name]] proposal. We have a few project slots opening in [[month]] that might line up with your timeline. Wanted to flag that in case it affects your decision.

A follow up email after no response should introduce something new, not repeat your original message. Add a different value angle, a relevant case study, a trigger event, or a simpler ask. Reference your first email briefly so the recipient has context, but keep the follow up shorter than the original. Most people don't ignore emails because they're uninterested. They're busy. A well-timed follow up catches them when bandwidth opens up.

Three emails total (one initial + two follow ups) is the sweet spot. Returns drop sharply after the third email. Space them 3-5 business days apart. Shorter gaps feel pushy, and longer than a week loses conversational momentum. If you're going beyond three without a reply, you're past the point of diminishing returns.

Keep it shorter than your initial email, reference (don't repeat) your original message, and shift your angle. If your first email led with a problem, the follow up could lead with a success story. If your first proposed a collaboration, the follow up could share a specific idea. The formula is simple: add new information and reduce the ask. A follow up email template gives you the scaffolding. Your job is filling in a fresh angle each time.

The simplest subject line for a follow up email after no response is to reply in the same thread, keeping the original subject line with "Re:" prepended. This maintains conversational continuity and avoids looking like a new cold email. If you must send a fresh thread, use the same subject line structure but add a new angle: "Quick update on [topic]" or "[Their company] + [your company] idea." Avoid "Just checking in" or "Following up" as standalone subjects. For more options, browse Hunter's follow-up email subject line examples.

Yes. Three-email sequences achieve a 6.8% reply rate, 106% higher than single sends at 3.3%, according to Hunter's State of Email Outreach report. Do follow up emails work? The numbers speak for themselves: most positive responses come after the first touch. Follow ups are the single biggest improvement you can make across every outreach category.
