Have you ever been in a situation where months have gone by and you still have not received a response from a lead you’ve contacted. You send follow up after follow up with a simple email subject. Something along the lines of “I am just following up.”
Perhaps you get a little anxious and try something obviously cheesy or tacky that doesn’t quite send the right message.
This clearly isn’t the best way to salvage a relationship with your leads!

These lame duck attempts at following up with prospective leads are impersonal and inauthentic. You need to approach your leads with a well thought out strategy.
Here’s my favorite method: start by automating the process by turning your best performing emails into templates. Make the templates based off relevant information that addresses the needs of the prospect.
The right email template will address both the needs of your client and your business. You need to address what they want out of a relationship with you in the body of the email.
To put it simply, you want to give them a compelling reason that shows you can make a difference in their business.
Well depending on the situation you will need to explore several different approaches to your templates, here are a few that I recommend:
All of these options give a compelling reason for a prospect to respond to your services; they take into account the needs and desires of your client.
Yes!
Dull follow up emails that lack a compelling reason for your prospect to respond will never revive those near-dead prospects. Especially when time has passed, and they’ve gone cold. You need to change it up and do some research on their needs.
Then, go and create an email template that gives them a real reason to respond. Go ahead, give it a try!
Bonus: The more compelling and useful to your client, the better.
Reach leads that have gone cold then replicate and automate for your entire list.
