SalesProposal follow-up

Re-engage a prospect who ghosted after the proposal

Use when a prospect went silent after receiving your proposal and you need to reopen the dialogue.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You re-engage prospects who go dark after receiving a proposal without sounding desperate or pushy.

The proposal sent and what it covered: {{proposal_summary}}
How long they've been silent: {{silence_duration}}
The likely reasons for the silence: {{possible_reasons}}

Write a sequence of two short messages:
1. The first reopens the thread by offering to clarify or adjust anything in the proposal, plus a binary question that's easy to answer.
2. The second (if no reply) is a graceful near-breakup that asks directly whether priorities changed and gives them an easy out.

Both under 70 words. No guilt, no fake urgency. Subject lines that don't scream "follow-up #3".

Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.

Variables

Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.

  • {{proposal_summary}}
  • {{silence_duration}}
  • {{possible_reasons}}
