What is a follow up email?

Sending a follow-up email means sending a message to someone or a company that you've contacted before. They act as a reminder of your previous message to the recipient. For example, after an online interview, you can send a follow-up email to inquire about the status of your job application.

Why do you need to send a follow up email?

Although the reasons for sending a follow-up email vary from person to person and situation to situation, they all share a common goal: to communicate with the recipient. Whatever your purpose, you must first initiate a conversation with the recipient and get a response from them.

Some of the reasons why you could send follow up emails;

• Receiving feedback from someone who downloaded and reviewed your content.
• Finding out the result after the Interview.
• Asking people who use your service's free trial about their experience and marketing your service to them.
• Get information from student affairs or your professor.

What do you say in a follow up email?

Regardless of your purpose for sending the follow up email, there are some steps you should follow. First, you need to start your email with a catchy and engaging call to action (CTA) phrase. Secondly, your subject line should stand out. Since your recipient will read the subject line before the content of your email, you should write an informative and engaging subject line. If you don't know how to write high-quality subject lines, you can use AI tools like TextCortex.
