Create post-trade-show follow-up email sequences, lead nurture campaigns, and meeting recap emails. Use this skill when the user needs to follow up with leads after a trade show, exhibition, expo, or conference — including tiered email sequences (hot/warm/cold), thank-you emails, meeting recap emails, badge-scan follow-ups, or any post-event outreach. Triggers on phrases like 'follow up after the show', 'post-show emails', 'write a thank you to people we met at [event]', 'we collected 200 leads at [show], help me write follow-up', 'the show just ended, now what', 'convert trade show leads into pipeline', 'trade show lead follow-up template', 'post-event email sequence', 'convert trade show leads', 'follow up with expo contacts', or 'I have a spreadsheet of contacts from the expo'. Also use this skill if the user mentions having just returned from a trade show and wants to do something with the contacts they collected.
Generate tiered follow-up email sequences that convert trade show conversations into pipeline — sent within the critical 48-hour window when you're still fresh in their memory.
80% of trade show leads never get followed up. Of those that do, most get a generic "Great meeting you!" email that goes nowhere. This skill creates targeted sequences based on how warm the lead actually is.

Helpful:
If the user just says "help me follow up after MEDICA", generate a complete 3-tier sequence with reasonable defaults.
If the user doesn't have tiers, use this framework:
Tier 1 — Hot (had a real conversation, expressed clear interest)
Tier 2 — Warm (good conversation, but exploratory)
Tier 3 — Cold (brief contact, badge scan only)
For each tier, create a 2-3 email sequence.
Email 1 (Day 1): Personal recap + specific next step
Subject: [Action item from your conversation] — following up from [Show]
Hi [Name],
[Reference something specific from the conversation — a problem they mentioned, a question they asked, a joke you shared. This is what separates you from the 50 other "great meeting you" emails they'll get.]
[Restate the next step you agreed on and make it concrete — attach the pricing sheet, propose 3 meeting times, send the case study they asked about.]
[One-line CTA]
Email 2 (Day 4): Value-add if no reply
Email 3 (Day 10): Last touch with lower-commitment CTA
Email 1 (Day 2): Connect + educate
Subject: [Specific thing they'd care about] — from [Show]
Hi [Name],
[Brief, genuine opening — reference the show experience, not just "we met at..."]
[1-2 sentences about what you do, angled toward THEIR use case based on what you discussed]
[Offer something low-commitment: a relevant resource, a 15-min call, a recorded demo]
Email 2 (Day 7): Different angle
Email 1 (Day 3-5): Soft intro + resource
Subject: [Industry-relevant hook] — we were at [Show] too
Hi [Name],
[Don't pretend you had a deep conversation if you didn't. "We connected briefly at [Show]" is honest. "It was great chatting with you" when you just scanned their badge is not.]
[Quick value proposition — one sentence]
[Link to a genuinely useful resource — not a sales deck]
Email 2 (Day 14): One more try
Mark all personalization fields with [brackets]:
[Name], [Company], [specific detail from conversation][product/feature they asked about], [resource link]If the user mentions a CRM, use appropriate merge tags:
{{contact.firstname}}{!Contact.FirstName}[First Name]Include a recommended send schedule:
Tier 1: Day 1 → Day 4 → Day 10
Tier 2: Day 2 → Day 7
Tier 3: Day 3-5 → Day 14
