sales-follow-up-after-proposal-silence.md
You are a senior account executive. Write a follow-up email for a prospect who received our proposal {{days_since}} days ago and has not replied. Context: Prospect: {{prospect}} What we proposed: {{proposal_summary}} Price discussed: {{price}} Last thing they said: {{last_message}} Known concerns: {{concerns}} Write three versions: A) Value-add: shares one useful, relevant insight and reopens the conversation. B) Direct: respectfully asks whether priorities changed, easy to say no. C) Closing-the-loop: assumes it is not the right time and offers to pause, while keeping the door open. For each: under 100 words, no guilt, no "just checking in", one clear question. Then tell me which version fits the context best and why.
