The Professional Client
Check-Back Email
Most installation businesses lose touch with past clients, not because the relationship ended, but because life and work moved on.
This email is a simple, professional way to reopen conversations without chasing, discounting, or undermining your position.

Hi [First Name],
I was reviewing our past projects and realised it's been a while since we last spoke.
I just wanted to check everything's still working as expected and see whether there's anything you're planning that we could help with - even if it's just advice.
We have set aside a few priority slots over the coming months for previous clients, so if you are considering any home improvements or additions, feel free to reply and let me know.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
