Should a follow-up repeat the original pitch?

No. Repeat the reason you're relevant in one sentence, then add something new: a proof point, a tighter ask, or a way out. Replaying the first email makes you look automated. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

What should I say in a follow-up email after an interview?

Thank them for a specific part of the conversation, add one example you didn't get to, and restate interest in the actual work. Keep it under 150 words. Then stop. Daily pings after interviews read as panic, not enthusiasm. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Is it okay to send this follow-up on LinkedIn instead of email?

Yes if this procurement officer is actually active there and the thread isn't about long attachments. Keep the LinkedIn version even shorter. Don't paste the full email. One context line and one question is plenty. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

What should I never say in a Legal follow-up?

Don't write 'we'll crush opposing counsel.' It's TV, not practice. Trying to go around them to the business owner in a way that's obvious. Don't recap your whole résumé. They were in the room. Those three mistakes show up constantly in Legal inboxes and they all read as "this was templated."

How do I follow up with lawyers without sounding pushy?

Be useful and brief. Reference the matter type or operational pain, not a hype line. Give them an easy decline. Many will ignore anything that looks like a mass BD blast because their name is on the letterhead. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Hello [First Name],

Bumping this once in case it landed under something louder.

I'm writing because a new practice group, a lost RFP, or a partner retiring with a book of work. Last time I reached out, I shared how [Your Product] could help with business development that feels like ambulance chasing, plus intake that leaks hours. Happy to send a tighter version if that's easier to scan.

Reaffirm interest, add one proof point, and make next steps easy.

If it's a no for now, just say so and I'll stop pinging.

Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Title]
[Your Company]
