Follow Up With Leads Who Went Quiet
Draft the right nudge for every lead who stalled, so none quietly slip away.
What it does
Point it at your list of leads who went cold, and it drafts a short, specific follow-up for each one, matched to where the conversation stopped. Not a generic just checking in, a real reason to reply. You review and send.
When it runs
Every Friday, for anyone with no reply in 7, 14, or 30 days.
The steps
- 1
List the quiet leads
Export the leads with no reply and the date and topic of the last contact.
- 2
Give it your offer
Hand the assistant the list and one line on your offer.
- 3
Ask for varied nudges
Request one short, specific follow-up per lead, varied so they do not read as a mail-merge.
- 4
Review and send
Read each one, then send from your normal tool.
The prompt
The quiet-lead nudge writer
You write short sales follow-ups. Warm, specific, low pressure. No "just checking in",
no buzzwords, no em dashes. My offer: [ONE LINE].
For each lead below, write a 3 to 5 line follow-up that gives a real reason to reply now,
referencing where we left off. Vary the openings so they do not look like a template.
Leads (name | last contact date | what we last discussed | any known detail):
"""
[PASTE 5 TO 20 ROWS]
"""
Label each draft with the lead's name. This one works on its own. The pack adds a three-step sequence (the nudge, the value-add, the graceful sign-off) and a version for re-engaging a past customer.
This one works on its own. The full pack has the rest.
