Copy-ready messages for when someone has not replied yet, with a short note on when to send each one.
A first message often goes unanswered simply because it arrived at a busy moment. A short, polite follow-up gives the person a second chance to reply. Below are templates for the most common situations. Replace the parts in square brackets before you send them.
When to send: Three to five working days after your first message.
Hi [Name], I wanted to follow up on my message about the [Role] position at [Company]. If the timing isn't right, that's completely fine. Would you be open to a short call this week or next?
When to send: Within one or two days of the interview.
Hi [Name], thank you for taking the time to talk with us about the [Role] position. We are reviewing the next steps, and I will update you by [date]. Feel free to message me if you have any questions in the meantime.
When to send: Two to three months later.
Hi [Name], when we spoke in [month], the timing wasn't right for a move. I'm working on a new [Role] opening and thought of you. Would you like to talk again?
When to send: About a week after your previous follow-up.
Hi [Name], I don't want to fill your inbox, so this is my last message about the [Role] position. If you'd like to talk in the future, I'd be glad to hear from you.
When to send: One or two days after they accept.
Hi [Name], thanks for connecting. I saw that you work on [topic] at [Company]. We help teams like yours with [problem]. Is this something you are looking at this quarter?
When to send: The same day or the next day.
Hi [Name], thanks for your time today. As promised, here is [what you promised]. Shall we pick a time next week to go over the next step?
When to send: About two weeks after your last contact.
Hi [Name], I wanted to check in on [topic] we discussed. Has anything changed on your side? If now isn't a good time, just let me know and I'll get back to you later.
Open their LinkedIn profile, click "Get details" in the Chrome extension, then "Save to LinkTrack".
Pick the date for your follow-up. LinkTrack reminds you by email, in your browser and in the extension.
On the Individual and Team plans, message templates fill in the person's name, title and company. You copy the message and send it yourself on LinkedIn.
LinkTrack does not send messages on LinkedIn for you. It reminds you when it is time and keeps the person's notes and history in one place.
Three to five working days after your first message is a common choice. After a meeting or an interview, follow up within one or two days.
One or two are usually enough. If there is still no reply, send a short final message that leaves the door open, and stop there.
