Partnering to scale link building

Hi {{first_name}},

Q1 is about prioritization—here are three ways we can collaborate to grow backlinks and organic traffic:

ABC exchanges: We partner with leading SaaS brands to place backlinks in exchange for links from your site.

Guest post collaborations: We regularly contribute to top sites like [[backlink site 1]], [[backlink site 2]], and [[backlink site 3]] and can include your links in upcoming guest posts.

Slack channel access: To scale even further, I can invite you to our private Slack channel, where 200+ SaaS businesses collaborate on link building.

P.S. To kick things off, I’d be happy to build a quick link for you from [[one backlink site]].

[[original subject line]] Hey {{first_name}},

I haven't heard back from you in a while. Wondering, did I do something wrong?

Last we spoke, we talked about [[briefly summarize]].

If I skipped a beat or did not answer an important question for you, please let me know.

[[Your name]]
Quick one {{first_name}}

Hope you're doing well {{first_name}},

Do you know why the pea was meditating?

To find his 'inner peas'.

Getting back to the present, did you get a chance to see my last email?

Namaste,

[[signature]]

Quick one {{first_name}}

Heya, it's little ol' me again {{first_name}},

(I hope you don't roll your third eye at me.)

Did you have a chance to read my email about the mantras article?

Cheerio,

[[signature]]

Not a priority?

Hey {first_name:"there"}},

I get it. Working with a [[your type of company]] isn't a priority right now. It seems like you don't have plans to [[service contact was interested in]]. Is that true?

I won't reach out again, but please feel free to get in touch if you need help with [[services you provide]].

All the best!

[[your name]]

Relevant person

Hi {first_name:"there"}},

I'm just following up on my last email. I didn't hear back from you on [[whatever you sent over]]. If it makes sense to talk, let me know how your calendar looks.

If this information isn't relevant to you, who is the appropriate person for me to talk to?

Thanks for your help,

[[your name]]

Follow up to Sales Manager Position

Hello {{first_name}},

How are you? I hope you are faring well.

I recently applied for the sales manager position and wanted to know when you are likely to communicate your decision. It would be an honor to join {{company}} and bring your sales projections to fruition.

I would be happy to submit additional information if you need it.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

[[your name]]

Goodbye {{first_name}}

{{first_name}}, this is the last time you'll receive an email about our email strategy. But before we say goodbye, I want to offer [[Low-risk offer]].

[[Explain Offer]]

Imagine what you can accomplish with [[Outcome]], [[firstName]].

Steal your [[Offer]] HERE. 😊

[[Objection]]

Hi {{first_name}},

I want to tell you the story of [[Client 1]] who....[[tell a story and handle some more objections.]]...And he ended up making [[Results]].

Why am I telling you this?

Well, because just like you, [[Client 1]] also had [[Problem]] but by using our strategy, they were able to [[Results]].

This, too, can be you, if you want, {{first_name}}.

Does it make sense if we talk about how to attack [[Problem]] and help {{company}} have [[Results]]?

If so, reply YES to this email or click here!

[[offer]]

Hey {{first_name}},

If every day you find yourself with a...

[[Pain 1]]

[[Pain 2]]

Then this offer is for you.

[[Low-risk offer]]

{{first_name}}, now at least you have the opportunity to solve [[Pain]] and achieve [[Goals]].

What are you waiting for to jump on the opportunity? Act now to take advantage of [[Low-risk offer]]?

Tips for achieving [[results]]

Hey {{first_name}},

Today I want to tell you about another part of our strategy that you can implement to achieve [[Goal]].

This strategy alone has allowed [[Client]] to achieve [[Results]]. You, too, can do the same at {{company}}, especially if you do it the right way.

[[Strategy]]

[[How to]]

[[Predictable results]]

That's it. I hope this helps.

Do you have any questions about the strategy? Feel free to reach out to me. I will be happy to help you.

[[Sender Name]]

P.S. If you are lost in the shuffle and need help, you can always book a time to talk about how to [[Goal]].

[[Objection]]

But [[Objection]].

That's the response I get from many when I tell them about my strategy.

To be honest, I understand that sentiment. I would have asked the same question.

But here's the thing [[Handle objection]].

So, {{first_name}}, does it make sense if we explore how you can use our strategy to [[Goal]]?

How about [[Timeframe]]?

[[Sender Name]]

P.S. Were you able to implement the strategy I shared with you?

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.
