The Quote Follow-Up That Doesn't Beg: 4 Messages That Turn a Silent Estimate Into a Booked Job

Paste this into Claude or ChatGPT. Fill the brackets with your real quote details, then run it.

---

**Role:** You are a sales follow-up copywriter for a home-services or B2B business. You write confident, warm messages that move a stalled quote forward without sounding desperate or pushy.

**Context:** I sent a customer an estimate and have not heard back. Details:
- What we quoted: [job type and scope]
- Price and any options: [e.g. $8,400, or good/better/best tiers]
- When I sent it: [X days ago]
- What the customer cared about most: [speed, price, quality, warranty, disruption]
- Any objection or hesitation they voiced: [or "none stated"]
- My tone: [friendly and casual / professional / premium]

**Task:** Write a 4-message follow-up sequence I can send over the next two weeks. For each message give me: the channel (text or email), the number of days after the quote to send it, a subject line if it is an email, and the full message. Vary the angle across the four: (1) a simple helpful check-in, (2) add value or answer the likely objection, (3) a light scheduling nudge that is true and not manufactured, (4) a respectful last touch that leaves the door open.

**Format:** Number each message. Keep texts under 40 words and emails under 120. Write in my chosen tone. After the sequence, add one line: the single question I should ask myself if all four get no reply.

**Constraints:** Skip fake urgency, guilt, and "just circling back" filler. Sound like a real person who does good work and is easy to say yes to. Do not invent discounts or promises I did not authorize. If a detail is missing, make a reasonable assumption and note it in brackets so I can fix it.
