Follow-up Letter on Phone Conversation

Dear [Name],

Since our July 6 phone conversation, I’ve put together some pricing information on our latest jewelry catalog called Sophisticates II.

Sophisticates II by jewelry designer Olaf Schrigge combines silver structures with traditional precious stones and crystals, the line conveys sexy allure and urban glamor.

As a buyer and stylist, we can offer you our products at a lower cost than expected if you place orders this early. We can also provide you with free shipping and display samples.

I’ll be back in touch in a few weeks to see which items interests you this season. In the meantime, however, if you have an immediate need or question, call me at [insert phone number]

Follow-up on Business Agreement

Dear [Name],

As we discussed last Tuesday, I’m enclosing a copy of our agreement on Project X.

I plan to call you again the week of August, after you have had time to review our product specifications and terms of agreement. I believe our services will greatly improve your business module and technical capabilities, in no time your company will acquire your target ISO certification in the industry.

Let me recap some of the issues we discussed that will have direct impact on your immediate decision:

• Cost factors of ISO implementation
• Quality assurance and checking of outgoing products for defects
• Training requirements for mid-level employees
• The database system that will allow employees to organize and edit all documentation.

In regards to our conversation, you may want to consider taking advantage of this opportunity later in the last season so that your staff will have enough time to undergo full training with our specialists.

I have also asked Roger Henson, our customer liaison, to assist you with any concerns about our product database and services.

I appreciate your interest in our company. I look forward to discussing your needs again in a few weeks.

Best Regards,

Thanks for the Meeting

Dear [Name],

Thanks for taking time to meet with Apple Martin and me last Tuesday about your concerns on making the shipping deadline.

I think we now have a much better understanding of some of the issues you are facing in the next several months. My intention is to improve the existing relationship through better communications and customer service.

During our meeting you requested information on our Express Shipment service. I have attached the appropriate guidelines to describe each key feature of our shipment package. After reviewing this material, please call me if you have questions about our services.

Again, thank you for your time. We at Company Shipping Lanes look forward to working with your organization. Both Ms. Martin and I will follow up with you within the next few days.

Follow-up on Client about Proposal

Dear [Name],

As we discussed, I have attached a summary of your product concerns that could serve as a starting point for a feasibility study. My work-up is very basic and straightforward, but I believe a market analysis of this kind could provide you with key answers to your target market questions.

Generally, the study should measure the present value of the quality of the product and the consumer’s interest in purchasing such a product at this time of the year and at this location.

Let me know of other concerns as you talk to your core team. Shall we talk again sometime in July?

Best Regards,

Follow-up Letter on Client Meeting

Dear [Name],

Thank you for meeting up with us last Tuesday. I have had the chance to review some of the details of your company's upcoming project on Organic foods.

We certainly were pleased to learn of your recent decision to distribute your product at the south district. As recommended, we intend to follow up with the regional marketing manager of Stores Inc. in seeing that you get the full benefit of a proper distribution channel in your current operations. We are also quite confident of our ability to respond to the demands of a project of this scope.

We look forward to the opportunity of working with you and look forward to receiving your request for proposal.
