Draft a 3-email follow-up sequence for leads in ⟨INDUSTRY⟩ who went dark after [TRIGGER, e.g., a demo, initial outreach, proposal sent].

For each email:

  • Subject line (under 40 characters)
  • Body (under 100 words)
  • Send timing (days after previous email)
  • CTA type (question, resource share, or meeting request)

Email 1 (Day 3): "The Value Add"

  • Reference the last interaction specifically
  • Share one new piece of value (case study, stat, or insight)
  • Soft CTA: Ask an open-ended question

Email 2 (Day 7): "The Pattern Interrupt"

  • Try a completely different angle or format (short story, analogy, or bold question)
  • Keep it under 60 words
  • CTA: Simple yes/no question

Email 3 (Day 14): "The Honest Breakup"

  • Acknowledge silence without guilt-tripping
  • Leave the door open genuinely
  • Include a "last chance" resource or offer
  • CTA: One-click response option ("Hit reply with 1 if interested, 2 if not right now")

Tone: casual and human. No corporate speak.

This prompt contains variables shown as ⟨variable_name⟩. Replace them with your own values before using.

How to Use

Specify the industry and what triggered the silence (post-demo, post-proposal, etc.). Customize the case study or resource in Email 1 with your own materials.
