COMMUNICATION • 6–8 MINUTE MICRO-COURSE

The Perfect Follow-Up Email

Learn a simple follow-up formula so you can nudge people without sounding desperate, annoying, or robotic.

Perfect for sales, ops, and office roles Works for internal & external emails Templates you can reuse forever

By the end of this micro-course, you'll be able to:

  • Write follow-ups that are short, clear, and polite
  • Stop using generic lines like "just checking in"
  • Pick the right subject line so your email gets opened
  • Give people an easy next step so they actually reply
  • Use plug-and-play templates for different scenarios
Instead of wondering if you're being "too pushy," you'll know exactly what to say, when to send it, and how to get a response.

What you'll learn in under 10 minutes

This micro-course is for anyone who has ever typed "just checking in..." and then deleted it because it felt awkward. You'll get a clear formula for follow-ups that feel professional, respectful, and effective.

  • The 3-part follow-up formula: Context, value, and clear next steps
  • Swap vague lines like "just following up" with stronger, specific language
  • Know how long to wait before following up (and when to stop)
  • Adjust your tone for bosses, peers, clients, and hiring managers
  • Trim long, messy drafts down to tight, polite messages

Real email examples we cover

We provide specific templates and approaches for common situations:

  • Following up on proposals and quotes
  • Nudging hiring managers after interviews
  • Checking in with busy stakeholders
  • Following up on internal requests and approvals
  • Reconnecting with past clients or contacts
📧 Sample follow-up from the course

Short. Polite. Clear next step. That's the pattern you'll reuse across all your follow-ups.

How the micro-course works

  1. Step 1: Learn the formula (3 minutes)

    Get the 3-part structure and see why most follow-ups don't work.

  2. Step 2: Study real examples (2–3 minutes)

    Compare "bad" and "better" follow-ups so you can hear the difference.

  3. Step 3: Pick your template (1–2 minutes)

    Choose from plug-and-play templates for proposals, meetings, job applications, and more.

Total time: 6–8 minutes to complete, then reuse the templates as often as you like.

What people notice after using this

You won't magically get a "yes" every time — but your follow-ups will:

  • Get more replies instead of silence
  • Feel more confident and professional when you hit "send"
  • Stop sounding like copy-paste corporate spam
  • Make it easier to move projects, sales, and decisions forward
