Following up on our conversation about [problem area]

Hi [First Name],

Good talking today. If I heard you right, the core issue is [problem in their words].

That's exactly the kind of situation we work on with [similar company type]. As discussed, the next step is [agreed next step] — I'll have [deliverable] to you by [date].

Anything I've misread, tell me now and I'll adjust.

Best, [Your Name]

The [resource] I mentioned

Hi [First Name],

As promised on the call — [resource: case study, example, breakdown] showing how [similar company] handled [pain point]: [link].

The part most relevant to you is [specific section], given what you said about [their situation].

Happy to talk through how it maps to [Company] whenever suits.

Best, [Your Name]

The [objection] question

Hi [First Name],

One thing from our call I wanted to close out: you raised [objection or concern].

It's a fair one. The short answer: [one-paragraph reframe or answer with a concrete example].

Does that address it, or is there a layer underneath we should talk through?

Best, [Your Name]

Timing check for [Company]

Hi [First Name],

You mentioned [timeline event — e.g., "wanting this sorted before Q4"]. Working backwards from that, a decision by [date] keeps things comfortable — later than that and the timeline starts to squeeze.

Is that still the target, or has it moved?

Best, [Your Name]

Closing the loop

Hi [First Name],

I haven't heard back over the past few weeks, so this is my last note on [topic] — I'll assume the timing isn't right and close it out on my side.

If [problem] comes back around, my door's open and I'll pick things up with full context.

Good luck with [their project].

Best, [Your Name]

This is the exact arc FollowClose generates from your transcript — except every placeholder is already filled with what your prospect actually said, and the sends can run on autopilot.
