Follow-Up That Feels Human

To build a genuine relationship by showing you listen and value their time without asking for a favor.

Pull up your notes from your last conversation and have the contact's LinkedIn profile or email thread open. Jot down one specific insight or resource they shared that you actually found helpful.

Write a three-sentence message. Start by thanking them for a specific piece of advice they gave. Mention one small action you took based on that advice. End by wishing them a great week with no immediate request.

Think of this as a quick text to a friend—keep it warm and brief rather than formal and stiff.
