The last message
“Hi Karen, I haven’t heard back, so I’m guessing the timing isn’t right, and that’s completely fine. Should I close your file for now? If you’d still like to move ahead, just reply ‘yes’ and I’ll take care of everything.”
Try this with AI
I own a [TYPE OF BUSINESS]. I sent a quote to [NAME] for [WHAT] on [DATE] and haven’t heard back. Write five short follow-ups for the next few weeks: two emails, a phone outline, a handwritten note and a final ‘should I close your file?’ message. Each one brings something new. Never write ‘just checking in.’
Don’t make this mistake
Don’t take silence as a no.
Don’t send “just checking in.”
