- Picking up where we left off
- Still on your list?
Follow-ups reply in the same thread, so they’re sent as “Re:” the first subject.

The proposal for {{company}}
Hi {{first_name}}, I sent over the proposal for the careers site a few weeks ago and haven't heard back, which usually means one of three things: 1. The timing moved. 2. It needs changes before it can go further. 3. You've decided against it. Any of those is completely fine. Which is closest? {{sender_first_name}}

Re: The proposal for {{company}}
Hi {{first_name}}, I'll leave it with you. The proposal stays valid until the end of the quarter if you'd like to come back to it. {{sender_first_name}}
{{first_name}} and similar are filled from each lead; after a “|” is the text used when the field is empty. Written for a recruitment marketing agency whose prospect stopped replying after a proposal.
When to use it
Two to six weeks after a prospect stopped replying mid-conversation, often after a proposal.
Why it works
- Naming the likely reasons (timing, budget, priorities) lets them pick one instead of explaining.
- It assumes good faith. People go quiet because they're busy, not rude.
- An explicit 'it's fine to say no' often unlocks a reply.
How to adapt it
- Refer to the specific thing you sent (proposal, quote, trial setup) in the first line.
