Follow-ups

How automatic follow-ups are timed, and how to stop them once a reply comes in.

Most links don't come from the first email. A short, polite follow-up a week or two later is often what actually lands the link, simply because the first message got buried. Serpfeed helps you keep track of who is due for a nudge.

How follow-ups work

After you contact someone, Serpfeed remembers when. If there is no movement, it can remind you that the opportunity is due for a follow-up. Sending a follow-up is logged as its own touch, so the timing stays accurate and you don't lose track of where each conversation stands.

Keep it human

A follow-up should be short and friendly: a one-line reminder of your first note, not a copy of it. You send follow-ups the same way you sent the original, from your own account, so the thread stays in one place in your inbox.

Knowing when to stop

One or two follow-ups is plenty. If someone hasn't responded after that, it is usually a no for now, and your time is better spent on the next opportunity. You can skip an opportunity to clear it out of your working list.

Autopilot pauses once you reply

Follow-up reminders are there to catch the ones you would otherwise forget. Once you have been in touch and logged it, Serpfeed backs off so you are not nudged about a conversation that is already moving.
