Small Biz Prompts

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.

follow-upquotesemail

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.
