Job 6 of 17ChatGPTGeminiClaude

Follow up enquiries that go quiet after you send your prices

Ghosting after the first reply is the most common complaint from wedding and portrait photographers. Two short, human follow-ups bring back a fair share of them.

Time: 15 minutes onceTool cost: you can start with a free AI tool

Steps

Note what you usually send first (prices, a brochure, a call link).
Run the prompt below for a day-3 nudge and a day-10 final email.
Save them as templates. Add one personal line each time (their venue, date or idea).
After the final email, stop. Mark the enquiry closed.

The exact prompt

Copy, paste, then fill in the [brackets]

Write two follow-up emails from a [UK] [wedding / family / brand] photographer to an enquiry that went quiet after I sent [my prices / brochure].
1. Day 3 (under 80 words): a light check-in with one easy question to reply to, e.g. "Is [date] still the plan?", plus an offer of a quick call.
2. Day 10 (under 70 words): a friendly last note, no hard feelings, the door's open.
No fake urgency ("only one date left!" unless true), no guilt. Leave [NAME], [DATE] and [PERSONAL LINE] placeholders. Warm [British] English.

✓ Check before you send

Any "date filling up" line is true.
Two follow-ups at most.
Each one has a real personal line.

UK notes extra

Fake urgency can be a misleading practice. GOV.UK: consumer protection rights.
