Need to write a follow up email after meeting? Here are 3 simple steps to get started:
1. Gather the information you need to know.
Before you write anything, you need to know who or what you're writing about. The more specific you are, the more personalized you can make your content.
Here's our suggestions for writing a follow up email after meeting:
Name of person you met with: [name]
What you talked about: [topic]
What you're going to do next: [action item]
2. Determine the structure of your output.
The structure of your content is just as important as the content itself. The structure of your content is how you're going to arrange the information in the content to make it easier for the readers to read and understand.
Greet the reader
Thank them for their time and/or hospitality
Remind them of what you talked about in your meeting
Tell them what you're going to do next, or ask them to do something next
Sign off with a promise to follow up soon
3. Write the content or use Copy.ai to help you get started. Once you have your structure down, you can start writing the content.
Example:
Dear [name],
It was so great to meet you yesterday! I can't wait to dive into some of the projects you mentioned and see what we can come up with together.
Next steps: I'll be reaching out to [person] this week and see about setting up a meeting. I'll let you know when it's scheduled, and we can talk about it then.
Thanks again for your time!
Best,
[your name]
Example:
Hi [name],
Thanks again for your time and hospitality. I had a great time chatting with you today and learning all about [topic].
I am going to do some research on the topic, and then I'd like to get back in touch with you next week to talk through my ideas. If that works for you, let me know and we can set up a time.
Also, if you think of anything else that would be helpful for me, please let me know!
I'll be in touch soon.
Best,
[your name]
