Write a follow-up email after a quote

A practical way to use AI for this job in a small business, with a prompt you can copy.

The job
Write a follow-up email after a quote
Tool(s)
ChatGPT or Claude
Time saved
10-15 minutes per quote (estimate). My rough estimate, not a measured result.

The prompt

I quoted [customer type] for [job] at [price] on [date]. They haven't replied. Write a short, friendly follow-up that checks if they have questions, reminds them of [one key benefit], and makes it easy to say yes or no. Under 100 words.

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details. Don't paste in anything you wouldn't want stored by the AI provider.

Steps

  1. Fill in the quote details.
  2. Run the prompt.
  3. Personalise the first line.
  4. Send 3-5 days after quoting.

My verdict

Follow-ups win work. AI makes it painless enough that you'll actually do it.
