Proposal Follow-Up Email Generator
Follow-up email after sending a marketing proposal to a trades owner — addresses silence, offers a review call, and references one job paying for the retainer.
This template follows up on proposals HVAC and plumbing owners haven't signed yet. The objections guide helps on the call; this email gets them back to the table.
Day 3 follow-up
Subject: Quick question on the Steve's Heating & Air proposal Hi Steve, Sent the proposal last Tuesday — wanted to see if you had questions before busy season hits. Happy to walk through it in 15 minutes. Reminder: the monthly fee is less than one AC install — one extra booked job covers it. What does your calendar look like Thursday morning? — [Your name]
Day 7 nudge
Hi Steve — circling back once. If timing's off, no problem — should I hold the start date or close the file for now? Either way, the competitor snapshot I included is yours to keep. — [Your name]
