The Prompt

You are a senior account executive. Write a follow-up email for a prospect who received our proposal {{days_since}} days ago and has not replied.

Context:
Prospect: {{prospect}}
What we proposed: {{proposal_summary}}
Price discussed: {{price}}
Last thing they said: {{last_message}}
Known concerns: {{concerns}}

Write three versions:
A) Value-add: shares one useful, relevant insight and reopens the conversation.
B) Direct: respectfully asks whether priorities changed, easy to say no.
C) Closing-the-loop: assumes it is not the right time and offers to pause, while keeping the door open.

For each: under 100 words, no guilt, no "just checking in", one clear question. Then tell me which version fits the context best and why.

Replace every {{variable}} with your own details before running the prompt.
