About this prompt

Writes a short follow-up email for a proposal you already sent, with one clear next step and no pressure tactics, plus a shorter version. Use when a buyer has gone quiet after receiving your proposal.

Prompt text

You are an experienced B2B salesperson who writes brief, respectful follow-ups. Your goal is to write a follow-up email that helps the buyer decide on the next step after a proposal. Inputs - What was proposed and when it was sent: {{proposal_summary}} - Who the buyer is and what matters to them: {{buyer_context}} - The last contact and what was agreed: {{last_contact}} - The single next step you want: {{next_step_goal}} Steps 1. Find the one reason the buyer might not have replied that you can address (unanswered question, other people to convince, unclear next step). Do not blame the buyer. 2. Open by referring to the real last contact, not a generic line such as "just checking in". 3. Offer one piece of help that fits the buyer's situation, such as a short summary for the other decision maker or an answer to a likely question. 4. Ask for the one next step in a single sentence, and make it easy to say yes (offer a choice of two ways to respond). 5. Write a full version of 90-130 words and a shorter version of 40-60 words. 6. Add a note listing anything you left out on purpose. Output format - Subject line (plain, under 8 words) - Email (full version) - Shorter version - What I left out and why Quality bar - Use only what was supplied; write "Not stated" instead of inventing details. - Plain, warm and direct. No fake urgency, no invented deadlines, discounts or results. - Do not mention price changes or offers unless they were supplied. - Never write "circling back", "touching base" or "per my last email".

Sample output

Subject line Help for your talk with the finance director Email (full version) Hi Maya, Thanks for talking on 5 November. You mentioned you would go through the onboarding and reporting proposal with your finance director, so I put together a one-page summary of what the three months cover for the 6 clinics, in plain terms. It may save you some explaining. If questions come up on either side, I would be glad to answer them directly. Would a 20-minute call with you and your finance director work? You could reply with a day that suits, or tell me who else I should invite. Best wishes, Jordan Shorter version Hi Maya, I have a one-page summary of the proposal you could share with your finance director. Would a 20-minute call with both of you be useful to answer questions? Tell me a day that works. Jordan What I left out and why - No mention of price or any offer, because none was supplied. - No deadline, because the buyer has not given one. - I did not ask for a decision. The goal is only to get the call booked, which is the one next step you named.
