Follow-up prompt

What most people type

follow up email to a prospect who went quiet after I sent a proposal 2 weeks ago

It works, but the AI has to guess your prospect name and company, proposal summary and new info or deadline, so the first answer usually needs another round. The version below asks for exactly what a professional would deliver.

Write a short follow-up email to a prospect who has gone quiet since I sent them a proposal 2 weeks ago. Keep it friendly and low-pressure, and don't sound pushy or guilt-tripping.

Details to work in:
- Prospect: [prospect name and company]
- What the proposal covered: [proposal summary]
- One useful touch that gives them a reason to reply: [new info, relevant result, or deadline, if any]
- My name and role: [my name, role]

Give 2-3 subject line options. In the body, briefly reference the proposal, make it easy for them to respond (for example, by offering to answer questions or adjust the scope), and end with one clear call to action: [for example, a quick call or a yes/no on next steps]. Keep the body under 120 words.

Replace the [brackets] with your details before you send it: prospect name and company, proposal summary, new info, relevant result, or deadline, if any, my name, role, for example, a quick call or a yes/no on next steps.

Why this version works

• Added tone guidance and no-pressure framing. Follow-ups to silent prospects land best when low-pressure.
• Added placeholders for key details. Specifics make the email feel personal, not generic.
• Requested subject lines and one call to action. Professional follow-ups have a clear single next step.
• Set a short body length. Follow-up emails work best when brief.

What a professional follow-up prompt covers

• Brief polite tone
• Easy reply or next step
