Do you know how to write a follow-up email after an outbound call?
Last updated by Tiago Araújo [SSW] almost 4 years ago.See historyWhen sending a standardized follow-up email after an out-bound call, you should always try to tailor your email to each client.
If you don't then the client will ignore your email.
These are the 5 things that you should include in your follow-up email:
-
Record what was said in the conversation including:
- the projects they are working on
- their priorities
- the technologies they are interested in
- When you will call them back
- Other relevant answers to questions in the script you are using.
- A little footer, with a clear division to the 'spam'/'canned' text
- Indent the spam text
All this information is important as it gives the next salesperson who speaks to this person a good background on your interaction with them.

Good Example: the next time you call you will be able to 'remember' plenty of details
