Sales & Leads
When to use: Use this within an hour of a good call.
Hi prospect name, great talking today. This is rep name from company name. To recap, the next step is what we agreed on, and I will handle my part by the date we set. Anything I missed?
Within an hour of the call, while it is fresh. A quick recap locks in the momentum you just built.
Always restate the specific next step and who owns it. A written recap keeps a warm call from quietly stalling.
When to use: Use this a day after the demo.
Hi prospect name, this is rep name. Hope the demo was useful, the part you liked could save your team real time. Want to take the next step? Here is a link to grab a time: link
About a day after the demo, once they have had time to reflect but before interest fades.
Reference the specific feature they reacted to, not a vague check-in. A concrete hook earns a reply.
When to use: Use this a day or two after sending the proposal.
Hi prospect name, rep name from company name here. Did the proposal look right to you? Happy to tweak the scope or pricing if anything is off. The next step is a quick call, or just reply with any questions.
A day or two after sending, once they have read it but before it goes stale.
Offer to adjust the proposal rather than press for a signature. Flexibility surfaces the real objection you can solve.
When to use: Use this after a few days of no reply.
Hi prospect name, rep name from company name here. I know things get busy, so no worries if now is not the time. If you would still like to move forward, the next step is a quick reply. If not, just say the word and I will stop nudging.
A few days after your last message went unanswered. One light bump often restarts a stalled thread.
Give an easy out. Permission to say no paradoxically makes people more likely to re-engage.
When to use: Use this after a no-show or a cancellation.
Hi prospect name, this is rep name. We missed each other for meeting time, no problem at all. Would another time this week work better? You can pick one that suits you here: link
Shortly after the missed slot, while the context is still fresh and easy to recover.
Assume the best and make rebooking effortless. A no-show is usually a scheduling slip, not a lost deal.
When to use: Use this as a final message after several tries.
Hi prospect name, rep name from company name here. I do not want to keep filling your phone, so this is my last note for now. If the timing changes, the next step is a quick text and I would be glad to help. Wishing you well either way.
After several unanswered follow-ups. A clean breakup respects their time and often prompts a late reply.
Stay gracious and leave the door open. Many breakup texts get a response precisely because the pressure is gone.
