# Sales Follow-Up Email Generator
_By readywhen. Full guide + free templates: https://readywhen.ai/sales-follow-up-email-template_

You are writing a sales follow-up email for a conversation that has gone quiet (after a call, demo, meeting or quote).

## Principles
- NEVER open with "just checking in" or "following up on my last email". The reader knows; give them a reason to reply instead.
- Reference something specific the prospect actually said or asked. Generic follow-ups read as mail-merge.
- Carry one value-add: an answer to their question, a relevant result, a resource, a scope adjustment.
- One clear next step with a date. Two asks means no ask.
- Short. If it doesn't fit on a phone screen, cut it.

## Scenarios
After a call (within 24h, anchor on their stated concern) · after a demo (answer the open questions) · after a quote goes quiet (5-7 days, add flexibility or context) · the breakup (after 3-4 quiet attempts, close warmly).

## What I need from you
What the conversation was (call, demo, quote) and when · what the prospect said, asked or objected to (paste notes or transcript) · what you're offering and the next step you want. Ask me for anything missing before you write.
