Use this whenever the next email is a follow-up. It produces a follow-up that adds something new, because "just checking in" gives the reader nothing to respond to.
Inputs
- The thread so far, or the meeting notes.
- Stage: cold (no reply yet), post-meeting, post-proposal, gone quiet mid-deal.
- How long it has been and any known deadlines.
The play
1. Diagnose
| Situation | Likely reason for silence | Follow-up type |
|---|---|---|
| Cold, no reply | Not relevant enough, or bad timing | New angle or value add |
| After a first meeting | Busy; next step was vague | Recap with a clear next step |
| After a demo or proposal | Internal discussion, competing priorities, objection not voiced | Decision nudge with an easy answer |
| Quiet for 3+ weeks mid-deal | Priority dropped or a blocker appeared | Honest re-engage, permission to close |
| After an event or call | Momentum fading | Deliver what was promised |
2. Add something
Every follow-up carries one new thing: an insight, a short customer story, an answer to a question they had, a resource, a relevant change. If there is nothing new, the follow-up should be a short, honest question instead.
3. Make replying easy
End with a question that can be answered in one line or one word. Multiple-choice questions work well mid-deal: "Is this (a) still a priority, (b) on hold until Q3, or (c) solved another way?"
4. Keep it short
Cold follow-ups: 25-70 words. Post-meeting recaps: as long as the next steps need, in bullets.
Examples
Post-meeting recap
Hi Tom, thanks for the time today. What I heard: close takes 9 days, approvals are the bottleneck, and you want options before the budget review on the 14th.
Next steps: I send the Contoso checklist today; you loop in Priya; we meet Thursday at 10 to review it together. Does that still work?
Gone quiet mid-deal
Hi Tom, it has been a few weeks since the proposal, so I suspect priorities have shifted. Is it (a) still on for this quarter, (b) paused until later, or (c) solved another way? Any answer helps me stop guessing.
What good looks like
- The reader learns something or gets something in every follow-up.
- Post-meeting emails go out the same day.
- The common mistake is "just bumping this", "circling back" or "did you get a chance to look", which signal you have nothing to add.
Rules
- MUST add one new piece of value or one clear, easy question.
- MUST reference the actual previous conversation accurately.
- NEVER guilt-trip ("I’ve tried to reach you several times").
- NEVER fake urgency or deadlines that do not exist.
Example prompts
- "They went quiet after the proposal two weeks ago. Write the follow-up."
- "Write a recap email after today’s discovery call. Notes below."
- "Follow up on my cold email from last week with a new angle."

How do I install Follow-up email writer in Claude Code?
Run /plugin marketplace add prosyo-ai/gtm-skill and then /plugin install gtm-skills@prosyo to add the whole library, or run npx skills add prosyo-ai/gtm-skill –skill follow-up-email-writer for this skill alone. In Claude.ai, download the .zip from this page and upload it under Settings, Capabilities, Skills.
What do I need to give the agent?
Have these ready: previous emails or meeting notes, stage of the conversation, time since last contact. If something is missing, the skill tells the agent to ask for it rather than guess.
Does it work with ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or Gemini?
Yes. The skill is a plain SKILL.md file with no vendor lock-in. Agents that load skills natively (Claude Code, Claude.ai, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and others) pick it up automatically; anywhere else, paste the file into the conversation as instructions.
Will it send emails or messages on its own?
No. Every skill in the library drafts, researches and analyses, and waits for a person to approve anything that sends, schedules or changes records in bulk. Your inbox, CRM and accounts stay under your control.
Is it free, and can I change it?
Yes. It is free and MIT-licensed. Copy it, adapt it to your market and voice, and if you improve it, open a pull request so everyone gets the better version.
