Follow-Up Dormant Engaged Lead Playbook
Updated: Apr 12, 2021
Send an email sequence to prospects who have previously shown interest but have gone unresponsive, untouched, for more than 90 days, or closed/lost. The follow-up emails remind prospects of their initial contact and offer more information to see if the prospect could now be interested or knows someone that may.
Email Sequence
Introductory Email: Introduce yourself and remind the prospect of the last engagement they had with your company. Let them know how you can help them and provide them an overview of current services your company has introduced since they last engaged. Ask for a meeting.
Reminder Email: Remind them that you are available to help. Provide some industry best practices your company has developed that they can learn. Ask for a meeting.
Referral Email: Ask them for a referral if they are not the right person. Provide a company overview that they could share with others introducing your offering. Request they provide the next steps.
Final Invite Broad Email: Give them an overview of all your services in case they may be looking to solve additional problems they may have that you did not discuss. Let them know they can reach out anytime.
