If you didn't get a response to your first follow up, you can occasionally send a second, polite follow up like this template a few days late. Reply to your original email (and not your last follow up) so the recipient can easily see your previous email.
Keep it short! And make the focus about reading your earlier email.

Did you know that 75% of professionals make a decision about someone based on their LinkedIn profile?
Networking is a crucial part of building a successful career, but let's be honest - it's not always easy. Especially if your LinkedIn profile isn't working as hard as it could be.
Optimize My Profile
You see, your LinkedIn profile is often the first thing people see when you're trying to make new connections. And if it's not optimized, you could be missing out on valuable networking opportunities without even realizing it.
But what if I told you there was a way to grow your network without all the extra effort? Our LinkedIn optimization tool analyzes your entire profile and gives you personalized suggestions on how to make it more attractive to potential connections.
And the best part? It's completely free to try. So why not take a few minutes to see how you can start building a stronger, more valuable network on LinkedIn? Your future connections (and career opportunities) will thank you.

Highlighting new features in a second follow up
Email Subject: Quick follow up
Hi Gina,
I hope you’re doing well! Did you have a chance to look at the resources I sent last week? Since it was a pretty long list, I’ve put together a short list of the most useful ones:
I’d love to touch base this week to see how we can help LexCorp become the industry leader in sustainable fashion. Are you free on Wednesday for a 10-minute call?
Thanks,
Laurence

A good rule of thumb is that for every email you send, you should add something new — for example, if you’re trying to sell a product or service, why not highlight (or even screenshot) a different feature in each follow up?
That way, it’ll feel more like you have something new to say and less like you’re spamming people for no reason.

Writing a second follow up in sales
Email Subject: Interested in a trial?
{{ First Name }} — checking in on my last email, did you want to try out [Your Product Name]? It's our [one or two-liner description] - please let me know (a quick 'yes' would do).
Here's a mini-gif on how it [showcase something new]:

Insight
If your first email didn’t get a response, there's usually a reason for that. Sure, sometimes people are just busy, but if your first email wasn’t sufficiently personalized, wasn't easy to respond to, or otherwise just missed the mark, simply resending it isn’t going to do much good.
A simple follow up email could be something like this which uses a simple call-to-action. The person just needs to respond 'yes'. In this case, we give an example of a salesperson reaching out to potential client asking them to try out a tool.
