What subject line works for Agriculture thank you emails (after a meeting)?

Name the situation and the business object, not your excitement. Something like "Agriculture note on vendors who show up during harvest" outperforms "Just checking in" because a sales VP can decide from the preview text whether it's worth opening. Keep it under 50 characters when you can.

How many times should I follow up with a Sales VP (after a meeting)?

Send it the same day. Thanks that arrive a week later feel like a task. Same day, within a few hours. Next morning is the backup, not the plan. After that, send a breakup note and archive it. A sales VP who wants it will answer a clean close more often than a fifth bump.

How soon should I send a thank-you after a meeting?

Same day, ideally within a few hours. Waiting until the next morning is fine if the meeting ran late. Waiting until Friday for a Monday meeting makes it look like a chore. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

What belongs in a post-meeting follow-up?

Decisions, owners, dates, and anything you promised to send. Keep opinions out unless they asked for a recommendation. A forwardable recap does more for the deal than a paragraph about how 'great it was to connect.' 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 thank you on LinkedIn instead of email?

Yes if this sales VP 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.

Questions people ask before they hit send

Show a leak they recognize: slow follow-up, weak stage conversion, messy handoffs. Ask for a short look at that one number. Don't pitch a philosophy of selling. They already have one, and their forecast is louder than your sequence. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
