Follow up a quote that went quiet
Three short follow-ups for a quote that went quiet.
What it does
Writes three short follow-ups that get a yes, a no or a question, without pressure. Replaces the follow-up you never send because you can't find the right words.
Use it when
When a quote has had no reply for a week or more.
What you need
- The quote: who, what, when, price
- What's happened since
- Your brain file Use the template

- Gmail (MCP connector)Finds the original quote thread and any reply you missed, and can save the follow-ups as drafts. Claude's built-in connector; check availability on your plan.
The prompt
Copy it, fill in the [BRACKETS], and paste it into Claude.
Use my brain file (in this Project, or pasted below) for how we sound. If you don't have it, ask me for the basics first.
I sent a quote to [CLIENT NAME] for [WHAT IT WAS FOR] on [DATE SENT]. Price: [PRICE].
Since then: [WHAT'S HAPPENED, E.G. NO REPLY / THEY SAID THEY'D THINK ABOUT IT / THEY ASKED ABOUT X]
Am I allowed to offer a discount or a smaller first step? [YES OR NO, AND WHAT]
Write three follow-up emails I can send about a week apart:
1. A short check-in that's easy to answer in one line.
2. A useful one: answer the question they're most likely stuck on, or offer a smaller first step if I've allowed it.
3. A polite close-the-loop: ask whether to keep the quote open or close the file.
Each one under 100 words, with a subject line and one clear question at the end. No pressure tactics, no fake deadlines, nothing I haven't approved.
