🏛️ 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 #113 Quick question before we get started. Think about the last really good meeting you had with an architect. You remember the one… Where the conversation went well, and they opened up about a project. And then they shared a problem they’d been struggling with. How much of that conversation do you remember right now? Not the general feel of the meeting, but the specifics. Like the project type, the timeline he mentioned, the exact problem they...

The Monday Morning Building Product AdvisorIssue #112 Let me describe someone on your call list right now. You’ve been visiting this architect for a while. The relationship feels warm. They let you buy them lunch, attend your CEU presentations, and ask good questions. Every time you leave their office, you feel pretty dang good about things. But wait… should you? I mean, when was the last time they specified your product? If you had to think about that for more than 5 seconds, you might be...

The Monday Morning Building Product AdvisorIssue #111 Most reps I work with are busy. And as someone who’s spent decades on both sides of that relationship (as an architect and as a coach), I can tell you the busyness isn’t the issue. Tell me if this sounds about right: You take long drives each week to cover your territory. Your calendar is full. You’ve got CEU presentations scheduled 3 weeks out.
