Details

From the project README

Write Follow-Up Email

Generate a follow-up email that re-engages prospects who didn't respond.

Input

Parse $ARGUMENTS for:

  • Original email or context of first outreach
  • Days since last email: How long ago was it sent
  • Follow-up number: Is this #1, #2, or #3?
  • New context (optional): News, trigger events, new value to offer

If original context is missing, ask for the key points from the first email.

Strategy by Follow-Up Number

Follow-up #1 (3-5 days after)
  • Assume they're busy, not uninterested
  • Add new value or angle
  • Keep it shorter than original
Follow-up #2 (7-10 days after)
  • Try a different approach
  • Share a relevant insight or resource
  • Reframe the value prop
Follow-up #3 (14+ days after)
  • "Break-up" email or permission-based close
  • Give them an easy out
  • Last attempt before moving on

Frameworks

The Bump
  • Quick, friendly nudge
  • "Floating this back up" energy
  • Best for follow-up #1
The Value-Add
  • Share something useful (article, insight, idea)
  • Shows you're thinking about their problems
  • Best for follow-up #2
The Breakup
  • "Should I close your file?"
  • Creates urgency without pressure
  • Best for follow-up #3

Hard Rules

  1. Shorter than original - Each follow-up gets shorter
  2. New angle: Don't just repeat the first email
  3. No guilt trips: "I haven't heard back" sounds needy
  4. No "just checking in": Empty phrase, add value instead
  5. Reference original: Brief callback to first email
  6. One CTA: Same or simplified ask
  7. 30-75 words max: Follow-ups should be scannable

What NOT to Write

  • "I wanted to follow up on my last email" (weak opener)
  • "I'm sure you're busy but..." (apologetic)
  • Resending the exact same email
  • Being passive-aggressive about no response
  • Multiple CTAs or new complex asks

Output Format

Subject: Re: [original subject] or [new short subject]

[Email body]

[First name]

Framework used: [which one] What's different: [how this differs from original] Word count: [number]
