Tool 26 · Networking & Follow-up
Follow-up Sequencer
A 3-touch follow-up sequence after a networking email, recruiter intro, or post-interview thank-you. Wording that's persistent without sounding desperate.
Touch 1 · Day 3
Soft bump
No response yet. A short, low-pressure bump that surfaces in their inbox again.
Pick a scenario above.
Touch 2 · Day 10
Add value
A week later. Lead with something useful — a link, a question, a relevant article.
Touch 3 · Day 21
Close the loop
Final message. Polite, dignified, and leaves the door open.
Why a 3-touch sequence
NYC professionals get 100+ emails per day. A single follow-up gets lost. Three touches — spaced out, each with a different angle — convert at 3-5x the rate of a single follow-up. Beyond three touches, the math flips: you're now "that person who keeps emailing." Stop at three.
