What this prompt does

  • Drafts a two-line follow-up after no reply
  • Adds one fresh reason to care
  • Cuts the guilt and the "just bumping this"
  • Makes it easy to say no

Why it works

Gives a reason to reply and permission to pass — so it lands as helpful, not needy.

Tips for this prompt

  • Paste the original email into {{context}} so the tone matches.
  • Name the one new reason in {{context}} — don't let it guess.
  • Keep {{prospect}} to a first name — it reads warmer.
  • Run it twice, keep the version that sounds less needy.
  • Cut any line that even hints at guilt.

How to use the prompt

  • Paste the prompt into your AI assistant.
  • Swap {{prospect}} for the person's name.

  • Run it.
  • Read the two lines — do they sound like you?
  • Tweak the wording, then send.
