You\u2019ve just come back from a conference, networking event, trade fair, or workshop \u2014 and now it\u2019s time to write an event follow-up email in English to the people you met. Instead of spending ages trying to craft the perfect message, simply copy and paste one of these English follow-up email templates. But before we dive in, here are a few basic rules.<\/p>

Prepare your email in advance<\/h2>

We all know what happens after an event. You get home to stacks of emails, back-to-back meetings, and a mountain of tasks you missed. That\u2019s why the best tip for writing a professional follow-up email is to prepare your message \u2013 or even better, a short email series \u2013 before you even go to the event.<\/p>

Take better notes at events \u2013 CRM optional<\/h2>

After the first day of a busy event, it\u2019s often hard to remember who you spoke to and what you discussed. Take a few quick notes after each conversation: their name, their challenges, and any next steps. I\u2019ve found that having a clear, structured process makes this so much easier. Before the event, decide exactly what information you need to capture about each prospect and their requirements.<\/p>

Create a simple template \u2014 either in your CRM tool or just on paper \u2014 so you don\u2019t forget valuable details in the chaos of a busy event. You can even classify each lead as hot, warm, or cold, so you can prioritise which ones to contact first.<\/p>

Timing \u2013 How to capitalise on your event investment<\/h2>

A few years ago, Salesforce found that around 80% of exhibitors don\u2019t follow up on their leads<\/a>. That\u2019s wild, right?<\/p>

Don\u2019t leave it too late to send your follow-up email. Yes, your inbox is overflowing \u2013 but your competitors are in the same situation. You\u2019ve probably invested time, money, and energy in attending the event. Don\u2019t waste that investment by waiting too long to contact the valuable prospects you met there.<\/p>

Personalise your follow-up and provide real value<\/h2>

\"Minimalistische<\/p>

In your event follow-up email in English, mention what you talked about to help them remember you \u2014 and show clearly how your product or service helps solve the pain points you discussed. Give your prospect a real reason to reply. Invite them to test your software, share a helpful white paper, or send a resource connected to the challenge you discussed. Your follow-up email should make it clear that you\u2019re not just trying to sell something \u2014 you genuinely want to help.<\/p>

Don\u2019t forget a call to action<\/h2>

\u2018It was great meeting you. Here\u2019s some information about our company and products. Get in touch if you want to find out more\u2019.<\/em><\/p>

Has anyone ever made a sale from a follow-up like that? Probably not. Think back to the next step that you discussed at the event, and follow up on that. Propose a meeting, suggest a phone call, or invite them to a webinar \u2013 whatever makes sense to this potential customer.<\/p>

Keep in touch<\/h2>

People often use trade fairs to research options for a new software, product, or service. They might be right at the beginning of their search, and not ready to make a decision. An email nurturing series can help provide \u2019nuggets\u2018 of information over a period of weeks or even months.<\/p>

Ideally, draft this email nurturing series before the event, ready to be sent out to all the people you met there.That takes the stress out of the follow up \u2013 don\u2019t forget, you\u2019ve got to attend all those meetings you are proposing.<\/p>

VORLAGE #1 (F\u00dcR COLD BZW. K\u00c4LTERE LEADS)<\/h3>

This template is for cooler leads \u2013 people who showed some interest but weren\u2019t ready to commit. Or maybe they told you directly that they don\u2019t plan to make a purchase anytime soon. In this English follow-up email template, we refer back to the conversation at the event and provide value with a video and an invitation to try the product.<\/p>

Dear Jane,<\/p>

It was great to meet you at the Insights Conference<\/em> in Glasgow<\/em>. I was interested to hear about your issues with English copywriting<\/em> and would love to help you find a solution. As I mentioned, the English Copywriting for Startups package<\/em> was developed with companies like yours in mind.<\/p>

Lynn<\/p><\/blockquote>

VORLAGE #2 (F\u00dcR WARM BZW. W\u00c4RMERE LEADS)<\/h3>

This template is for warmer leads \u2013 people who seemed genuinely interested in your solution or said they\u2019d like to move forward soon. Your CTA can be more direct here. Just make sure you add the proposed meeting time to your calendar and set a reminder in case they don\u2019t respond.<\/p>

Dear Jane,<\/p>

I enjoyed meeting you at Insights Conference<\/em> in Glasgow<\/em>. I was thinking about what you mentioned about English copywriting<\/em>and thought you might be interested in this testimonial. This customer had similar issues and, with our help, they were able to create compelling English content for their website<\/em> within four weeks<\/em>.<\/p>

Kind regards,<\/p>

Tip: Make your benefit and the time frame as specific as possible, with a clearly defined outcome and benefit<\/h4>

Need more help with your English follow-up emails?<\/h2>

Your follow-up email after an event doesn\u2019t have to be perfect. Don\u2019t spend days agonising over the best wording, or the right greeting. It\u2019s all about taking advantage of the connection you\u2019ve made, and starting a genuine conversation. Your follow-up email should be helpful, clear \u2013 and above all, timely.<\/p>

If you decide to go a step further and create a short email nurturing series to keep the connection warm, I\u2019d be happy to help. I have extensive experience in the conception and writing of customer nurturing emails, and would love to support you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
