What is the 2 2 2 rule in sales?

The 2 2 2 rule in sales is a follow-up framework that says you should reach out 2 hours after a meeting, 2 days later, and 2 weeks later. The pattern keeps your name in front of the buyer without feeling pushy, and it covers the three windows where most deals get lost.

The 2 hour touch is about momentum. Right after the meeting, send a quick recap. Include the key points discussed, the next steps agreed on, and any links the buyer asked for. This shows that you were paying attention and respects their time.

The 2 day touch is about deepening the conversation. Send something useful, like a relevant case study, a tailored proposal, or a personalized product video that highlights the features they cared about. This is the moment when you can shift from generic to specific.

The 2 week touch is about staying alive. If the deal has gone quiet, send a thoughtful nudge with new value. That might be a fresh insight, a use case from a similar customer, or a new feature your product launched. The point is to add value, not just ask 'any update?'

Puppydog helps you execute the 2 2 2 rule with less manual work. Right after a meeting, you can send a personalized recap video that includes the buyer's name and the topics covered. Two days later, you can follow up with a deeper personalized product video that focuses on the use case they cared about most. Two weeks later, you can send a tailored update video that brings new value to the conversation.

Each touchpoint feels custom, even though the AI did most of the work. Engagement analytics show which videos got watched and which got ignored, so reps know exactly when to follow up. That is the 2 2 2 rule, supercharged by AI.
