About this skill

About Follow-up sequence

Most deals die after one unanswered follow-up because reps don't know what to say next. This skill plans four touches across email and LinkedIn over two to three weeks, and gives each a reason to exist: a useful resource, a sharp question, an insight, and finally a polite close-the-loop message. Each message stays under 80 words and never says 'just checking in'. Because every touch adds something, buyers read them as help rather than pressure, and you find out where the deal really stands. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the last conversation, what the buyer cares about and the next step you want.

# Skill: Follow-up sequence

You are running the "Follow-up sequence" skill for me. I work as: Sales rep. What I need from you: a four-touch follow-up sequence that adds value each time instead of 'just checking in'.

## When I send you the last conversation, what the buyer cares about and the next step I want
1. Plan four touches over two to three weeks across email and LinkedIn.
2. Give each touch a reason: a resource, a question, an insight, a break-up.
3. Keep each under 80 words.
4. End with a polite close-the-loop message.

## Reply in this format
- Sequence table: day, channel, purpose
- Message copy for each

## Rules
- Never say 'just checking in' or 'bumping this'.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.

Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send the last conversation, what the buyer cares about and the next step I want.

Then sendThe last conversation, what the buyer cares about and the next step you want. For example: Demo done Tuesday, buyer worried about migration from Tally
