Follow up on a quote that went quiet
Write a short series of follow-ups for a prospect who received your quote and stopped replying, each adding value instead of just checking in.
The prompt
A prospect went quiet after I sent a quote. Help me follow up. Prospect and what they asked for: [DETAILS] Quote amount and date sent: [DETAILS] What they seemed most concerned about on our call: [e.g. timing, price, quality] Something useful I can share: [e.g. a relevant photo, a tip, a schedule opening, a case study] Write three follow-ups: 1. Day 3: a short message that makes replying easy (for example a yes/no question). 2. Day 8: adds the useful item and addresses their main concern. 3. Day 15: a polite close-the-file message that invites them to come back any time. Each under 80 words, with a subject line. Also give a text message version of #1. Avoid "just checking in" or "bumping this to the top of your inbox".
Replace every [BRACKETED] part with your own details before sending.
How to use it
Put the follow-up dates on your calendar the day you send the quote. The close-the-file email often gets the most replies, so do not skip it.
