🏛️ PRODUCT REPS: Use these email templates to make your architect follow-up easier


The Monday Morning Building Product Advisor
Issue #101

This past week’s been a rough one…

Between client work and dealing with a family loss, my mind hasn’t been on writing too much this week. But with a recent influx of new readers, I don’t want to leave you hanging.

And to make sure I didn’t, I dug into the archives to find some of the valuable issues I’ve sent in the past…

One’s only seen by my earliest subscribers.

Now, one of the top questions I get from product reps is how to follow up with their ideal architect clients (without being an annoying pest).

So, here is a two-part email series that shares one of the frameworks I’ve successfully used for years…

I hope you find them as valuable as I have.

[I’ve heard from several of those early subscribers who’ve been using these for the past two years that they’ve been working well for them, too.]


That's it for this week!

Cheers to building more than just buildings, and see you next week,

The Monday Morning Building Product AdvisorIssue #104 A lot of product reps are tired. Tired of chasing architects. Tired of “circle back” emails. Tired of pouring energy into relationships that never quite click. And on the architect side, we’re tired too. Tired of surprises. Tired of products that looked perfect on the finish board… and 5 years later, don’t look anything like what we thought we were getting. Those two kinds of tired are connected. But, before we get to that, let me share a...

The Monday Morning Building Product AdvisorIssue #103 A few years ago, I was honored when Mark Mitchell asked me to write a guest post for his Whizard Strategy blog. He was a good guy, and I know a lot of us miss him. So today’s issue is a refreshed version of what I wrote back then because, honestly, this problem hasn’t gone away. If anything, it’s gotten trickier. More hybrid work. More remote teams. More “everyone wears six hats” firms. More job titles that sound impressive… but don’t tell...

The Monday Morning Building Product AdvisorIssue #102 If I had a nickel for every time a rep sat across from me and said their product was “high quality”… …I’d have retired from architecture years ago. Instead, I’ve spent 28+ years in that chair. I’ve usually got a deadline hanging over my head, and I’m only half-listening to another “pitch” that sounds like the last three. Not because I’m rude. [At least I TRY not to be.] It’s because when you’ve heard 5 versions of “great service and...
