Write a 4-Email Quote Follow-Up Sequence

Use this prompt when a prospect has gone quiet after receiving a quote. Fill in the five details specific to your situation and run it in ChatGPT to generate a complete 4-email follow-up sequence with subject lines.

The Prompt

You are writing follow-up emails for a small service business owner. Write a 4-email follow-up sequence for a prospect who has gone quiet after receiving a quote. Here are the details:

- Service quoted: [e.g., website redesign / kitchen renovation / bookkeeping package]
- Quote amount: [e.g., $2,400]
- Last contact: [e.g., I sent the quote on Monday and they said they'd review it with their business partner]
- Any concerns raised: [e.g., they mentioned budget was tight this quarter]
- Relevant deadline: [e.g., I have capacity for one more project this month]
- Tone: [e.g., warm and friendly, not salesy]

Email 1 should be a soft check-in sent 1–2 days after the quote. Email 2 should add value or address a likely concern, sent around day 5–7. Email 3 should create gentle urgency without being pushy, sent around day 10–12. Email 4 should be a low-pressure "breakup" email sent around day 18–21, leaving the door open.

Write subject lines for each email. Keep emails short — under 150 words each. Sound like a real person, not a marketing department.
