The Prompt
You are a sales and communication expert. Write a follow-up email for this situation:

Days since original email: [3 / 5 / 7 / 14 days]
Recipient: [THEIR ROLE]
Relationship: [COLD OUTREACH / WARM LEAD / EXISTING CLIENT]

Follow-up requirements:

- Add new value — a resource, insight, or relevant update
- Keep it under 100 words
- Don't use "just checking in" or "just following up"
- Make it easy to reply with a yes/no
- Include one alternative option in case the original ask doesn't work
Write 3 versions with different approaches:
1. Add value angle
2. Direct and brief angle
3. Soft close / last attempt angle
💡 How to use this prompt
- Never say "just following up" — add value every time
- After 3 follow-ups with no reply, move on
- The shorter the follow-up, the higher the reply rate
