The follow-ups mentoring deals need — sent.

Send a short recap the same day with their goal, your proposal and a clear next step. Then follow up on a set schedule, and add something useful each time, like an answer to a question they raised. Ask plainly whether they want to go ahead, and make ‘no’ easy to say. How you follow up shows them how you’ll treat them as a mentee. Evensteer drafts and sends the follow-ups under your name, warm and specific.

Restate their goal in their own words, then set out how the mentoring works, how long it runs, what it costs and how to start. Add what happens between sessions and a short example of a similar result. Keep it short and send it soon after the call, while the conversation is fresh. End with a clear next step and a date to reply by. Evensteer drafts proposals for your approval.

Make it easy to say yes. Learn their goal in detail on the call, then send a proposal built around it with a clear price and start date. Answer their worries directly, whether it’s time, cost or fit. A bigger client often wants proof, so share a relevant result or offer a reference. Then keep following up until you get a clear answer, since deals are often lost to silence.

Keep writing, politely, until you get a clear yes or no. Silence often means they’re busy, not that they’ve decided against you. Make each message add something, like a relevant idea or a simple question about timing. After a few tries, send a friendly note saying you’ll close the file unless they want to pick it up. Evensteer keeps follow-ups going on every open deal and keeps notes on each one.

Send a short recap the same day as your first meeting, while the conversation is still fresh. Then follow up on a set schedule, leaving a little more time between each message. Keep going until you get a clear yes or no, or they ask you to wait. Evensteer drafts and sends these follow-ups under your name.
