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?
Hi {{first_name}},
I’m writing to follow up on my email and voicemail. We’re in the process of closing files for the month.
Typically, when I haven’t heard back from someone it means they are either really busy or aren’t interested. If you aren’t interested, do I have your permission to close your file?
If you are still interested, what do you recommend as a next step?
Thanks for your help,
[[your name]]
Hey {{first_name}},
In my previous mail, I talked about the strategy that generates crazy results.

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}}.

The subject line is the first thing your prospects see, and they may decide whether or not to read your emails based on the subject line only.
So try not to be too obvious by having “Follow-up” or “Just checking in” as subject lines for your follow-ups. Be a bit more creative and write a catchy copy that makes users open your email.
These are the key rules to follow while writing subject lines for your follow-ups: make them personal, keep copy short, ask intriguing questions.

At Hunter, our key rule is to focus on writing irresistible emails instead of adding too much follow-ups. So we recommend limiting to three follow-ups for your cold email campaigns. If you are sending too many follow-ups to someone who’s never heard about you, you may seem an annoying person and damage your company brand.
If you still feel three follow-ups is not enough or that you can provide more value/spark interest for your prospects—don’t hesitate to use other channels. Twitter or LinkedIn could easily help you to deliver your message on a personal level.
