Rewritten
Hi [Name],
Just wanted to check in on the proposal I sent over last week for the email marketing overhaul — happy to answer any questions or walk through the projected 15% open rate improvement in more detail if that would help.
No rush at all, just wanted to make sure it didn't get buried in your inbox.
Best,
[Your name]
About this tool
After a proposal goes out, there's an awkward window where following up too aggressively can feel like pressure, but not following up at all lets a genuinely interested prospect's attention drift to something else entirely. This tool writes the specific, brief check-in email meant for that window — it references the core value of the proposal in one line to jog memory without re-pitching the whole thing, and offers to answer questions rather than pushing for a decision. It's the natural next step after using the project-scope-to-proposal tool, once enough time has passed that a check-in feels reasonable rather than premature.
Frequently asked questions
How soon after sending a proposal should I send this follow-up?+
There's no universal rule, but a common cadence is checking in around 3-7 days after sending if you haven't heard back, giving the recipient reasonable time to review before you reach out again.
Will it re-explain the whole proposal?+
No, by design it references the core value in just a line or two rather than re-pitching the full proposal, since the goal is a light touch that prompts a response, not a repeat of the original pitch.
What if this is my second or third follow-up with no response at all?+
For a proposal that's gone unanswered after multiple follow-ups, the re-engagement email generator tool is a better fit since it's built specifically for lowering pressure further and making it easy for the prospect to simply say no.
