[[Event name]] recap: what stood out

Hi {{first_name}},

Good to connect at [[event name]]. Two things from the event that stuck with me:

[[Specific insight from a session or speaker]] and how it connects to [[their industry or challenge]].

Your point about [[something they said in your conversation]].

I'd like to stay in touch. If [[specific topic]] comes up on your end, I'd welcome the chance to compare notes.

[[Your name]]

You asked about [[specific question]] at [[event name]]

Hi {{first_name}},

At [[event name]], you asked about [[specific question or topic they raised at your booth or session]]. I didn't have a complete answer in the moment, so I wanted to follow up properly.

[[2-3 sentence answer or explanation with a link to a relevant resource]].

If you want to dig deeper into how this would work for [[their company]], I'm happy to set up a call.

[[Your name]]

Nice meeting you at [[event name]], {{first_name}}

Hi {{first_name}},

It was good to connect at [[event name]]. I enjoyed the discussion about [[topic from conversation or session you both attended]].

No specific ask here. I just wanted to stay connected and keep the conversation open for when it makes sense. If anything comes up where I can be helpful on the [[your area of expertise]] side, don't hesitate to reach out.

[[Your name]]

[[Event name]]: the [[topic]] conversation

Hi {{first_name}},

We connected briefly at [[event name]] during the [[session, keynote, or location]]. I work with [[type of companies or teams]] on [[what you do]], and your situation with [[specific challenge or goal they mentioned]] sounds like something I can help with.

I can put together a short overview of how we handle [[specific thing they asked about]] and send it over this week. Would that be useful?

[[Your name]]

Following up from [[event name]]: [[brief topic you discussed]]

Hi {{first_name}},

I've been thinking about the conversation we had at [[event name]] about [[specific topic]]. Your point on [[something they said]] was interesting, especially given what I'm seeing in [[related area or your industry]].

I mentioned [[resource, tool, or idea you discussed]]. Here's the link: [[link]]. Thought you'd find it useful.

Let me know if you'd like to continue the conversation.

[[Your name]]

Great to meet you at [[event name]]

Hi {{first_name}},

We spoke briefly after the [[session or panel name]] at [[event name]]. You mentioned your team was [[specific thing they mentioned: expanding into a market, solving a problem, evaluating a tool]], and that's something I work on closely.

Would a quick call next week make sense to pick up where we left off?

[[Your name]]

Clipped the best part of [[webinar name]] for you

Hi {{first_name}},

You registered for [[webinar name]] but couldn't make it. Instead of sending the full 45-minute recording, here's the 5-minute clip that got the strongest reaction: [[link to clip or timestamp in recording]]

It covers [[specific topic in one sentence]]. The full recording is here if you want the rest: [[link]]

Worth a watch?

[[Webinar name]]: here's how [[example company]] applied it

Hi {{first_name}},

Last follow-up on [[webinar name]]. We've heard from a few attendees who've already started applying [[specific tactic from session]], including [[example company or anonymized example]] who [[specific result or action taken]].

If you're interested in how this would work for [[their company or use case]], I can walk you through it in 15 minutes. Does [[day]] or [[day]] work?

[[Webinar name]] follow-up: a question for you

Hi {{first_name}},

I wanted to follow up on [[webinar name]] from last week. The session covered a lot of ground on [[topic]], and I'm curious: did the section on [[specific subtopic]] apply to what your team is working on right now?

If so, I can share [[specific resource: a case study, a deeper guide, a template]] that goes further than what we had time for in the session.

[[Your name]]

One thing from [[webinar name]] worth acting on

Hi {{first_name}},

We're still processing the recording from [[webinar name]] and I'll send the link as soon as it's ready. In the meantime, here's the one takeaway worth acting on now:

[[One concrete, actionable insight from the session in 1-2 sentences]].

If you try it this week, I'd genuinely like to hear how it goes.

You missed [[webinar name]]: here's what happened

Hi {{first_name}},

We hosted [[webinar name]] yesterday and covered [[brief topic summary]]. Here's the recording: [[link]]

The Q&A on [[specific topic]] alone is worth watching. [[Speaker name]] walked through [[specific insight or framework discussed]], which applies directly if your team is dealing with [[relevant challenge]].

Worth 20 minutes of your time if [[specific condition, e.g., "you're scaling outbound right now" or "you're rethinking your onboarding flow"]].

[[Your name]]

Your [[webinar name]] recording is ready

Hi {{first_name}},

Thanks for joining [[webinar name]]. Here's the recording: [[link]]

If you only watch one section, the discussion on [[specific topic]] at [[timestamp]] is most relevant if you're working through [[specific challenge the topic addresses]].

We also put together [[resource: a checklist, a template, a guide]] based on the session: [[link]]. It covers the steps we didn't have time to walk through live.

Any questions from the session I can help with?

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.
