Outreach Asking If Interested Playbook

Updated: Apr 12, 2021





Send an email sequence to prospects asking if they are interested. First, you will ask if they are interested; then, you will explain the value your product or service can offer the prospect. Follow-up emails will remind them and ask if they know anyone else that is interested. Also, you will share best practices, success stories, and content to educate the prospect on your offering and help accelerate their buying decisions.

Email Sequence


  1. Introductory Email: Introduce yourself, your offer, and ask if they are interested. Share more details about your offering and provide a case study giving them a reason to accept the offer. Ask to schedule a meeting.

  2. Reminder Email: Remind them of the offer and provide additional case studies supporting the offer's value. Ask for a meeting.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
