Should I follow up with agents after my submission?

It depends on whether the agent opened your email or not — and your tracking report makes it easy to tell the difference.

Agents who opened your email

We recommend holding off on following up with these ones. If they opened your materials but didn't respond, they've likely made their decision for now. No need to push — there are plenty more opportunities ahead.

Agents who didn't open your email

These are worth following up with. Agents are busy and inboxes get crowded — your email may have simply been missed. A gentle nudge could be all it takes to get your materials in front of them.


How to follow up

Send a short, friendly email manually from your own Gmail account. Keep it brief and reference your original submission — something like "Just checking in on my submission from [date]" works perfectly.


Persistence — within reason — is part of the industry. Many actors landed their representation after a well-timed follow-up.
