Follow up email after a sales call
Short. Friendly. Useful. That’s the secret sauce of a perfect client follow-up. This email nails it by turning plain meeting notes into a value-packed resource list.
Why this follow-up works
- Personalized: References the actual meeting, feels written just for one person.
- Actionable: Drops helpful links instead of a summary no one will read.
- Frictionless CTA: Each link is the next logical step, not a sales push.
- Conversational tone: No marketing fluff, just a friendly “here’s what we talked about.”
Real life examples
- Calendly follow-ups that include a “Here’s what we discussed” recap increase reply rates by 34%.
- HubSpot sales teams use short, bulleted follow-ups to improve call-to-demo conversion by 20%.
- Freelancers using note-style emails after intro calls report higher client trust and faster project approvals.
