How to Respond to Negative Emails?

If you've been emailed and don't know how to respond, here are some tips that might help you. Before writing back, make sure that you've read the email again. If it was written quickly, you may have misinterpreted the content, and rereading it could help you better understand the sender's point of view.

How to respond to a "not interested" email

When you receive an email from someone saying that they are "not interested in your products," you have two options: close the message or try again later. The latter is a good idea if you think that the person might still be interested. The former is more of a last ditch effort.

When it comes to emails, "not interested" is a tricky one to deal with. Most often, it's a response to the question, "Are you interested in what I offer?" However, if you can keep your commitments to a minimum, you may even find that they may be open to considering your products or services.

When following up with a person, don't be pushy or sound desperate. The person might simply not be interested in you, or they may have hundreds of emails piled up. To get their attention, remind them of your original email and ask if they're still interested.
