Shopify’s guide to follow-up emails in sales and commerce demonstrates the way to sustain momentum after demos or deals—with human voice, straightforward organization, and timely reminders.
Key Takeaways:
- ⏰ Timing is Everything: Follow up soon—use email, phone, SMS, LinkedIn, or even in-person meetings to stay front-of-mind through the long B2B cycle.
- ✉️ Recap & CTA by Bullet: Start with a quick reminder of last interaction, list the relevant action items, and close with a clear next step—for example, “Looking forward to our call at 2 pm on Monday”.
- 🗂 Mix Channels for Better Reach: Sales emails, calls, texts, LinkedIn notes—even trade‑show meetups—all count. A multi-channel follow-up shows dedication without seeming pushy.

🚀 How I Scaled With Cold Email, Daily Discipline & Nomadic Freedom
From building a cold email agency to scaling and selling a newsletter from 5K to 250K subs, I’ve learned a few things about growth, grit, and designing a business that fits your life—not the other way around.
Key Takeaways:
- 🎯 Cold Email Isn’t Dead—Just Misused: I don’t send hundreds from one inbox. I send 20 from hundreds. Smart infrastructure + crystal-clear targeting = meetings with brands like Disney, Amazon, and MasterCard.
- 🧠Daily Journaling Keeps Me Sharp: Every night, I write down what I learned, what worked, what didn’t, and where I can improve. It’s the simplest way I hold myself accountable.
- 📬 Newsletters Can Be Big Wins: I bought a newsletter, scaled it to 250K subscribers, built recurring revenue—and sold it. Now I help clients do the same.
- 🌍 Digital Nomad Life (With Structure): From Florence to Hawaii, I’ve built a life where work fits around me. The secret? A strict calendar, timezone discipline, and knowing what matters most.
