- Say the Right Thing
Hi Trailblazers, You’ve found the right people. You’ve tracked their engagement.
Now let’s talk what to say—because good follow-up is more than just a “great to meet you!”
In this final part of the LinkedIn outreach series, I’m giving you the exact messaging templates I use to follow up after someone connects, opts in, or chats with me—tailored by lead type and intent level.
Bookmark this one. You’ll come back to it again and again.
The right message at the right time is more powerful than a perfect pitch.

Scripts That Sell Softly
No more “let’s keep in touch” energy
Customize the Close
Use these real follow-up examples to nurture leads based on where they are—not a one-size-fits-all drip.
Picture this:
You just had a great 1:1 networking chat.
Or someone opted into your lead magnet from LinkedIn.
You should follow up. But... with what?
Solution:
Use a “follow-up CTA cheat sheet” to guide your next message—based on:
What kind of lead they are,
How warm the convo felt,
And what makes sense as a next step.
Why does it work?
Because your follow-up should match the moment.
Not everyone is ready for a discovery call.
Some need a little more value. Some are ready to refer you. Some need a soft touch and a clear next step.
How to Act Now:
Keep scrolling where we’ll take a look at real follow-up templates by lead type:
🔄 For Power Partners (warm, not a buyer)
🎯 For Warm Leads (not quite ready to buy)
đź’Ą For Hot Leads (showed interest in your service)
🧊 For Cold-ish Connections (accepted request, no chat yet)
