Gentle Nudge (First No-Response Follow-Up)

The first follow-up when a prospect goes quiet after a call or email. Assumes good faith, restates the one thing that matters, and makes replying effortless with a single yes/no question.

Hi [First Name],

I know things get busy — floating this back to the top of your inbox.

The short version: [one-line recap of the open item — e.g., "you wanted to loop in your VP before we scope the pilot"].

Is that still the plan? A one-word reply is fine — I'll take it from there.

Best, [Your Name]

The nudge only works if it goes out on time. FollowClose schedules it the moment your call ends — and pauses automatically if the prospect replies.

Never drop a follow-up again →
