Follow up quotes that have gone quiet, without sounding pushy

The problem

Lots of quotes die from silence, not price. Two polite nudges win back work you've already spent an evening pricing.

What AI does

AI drafts two friendly follow-ups for quotes that have gone quiet: an early nudge and a final note. After the final message, you close the quote and stop chasing.

Time

Time: 15 minutes to set up, then 5 minutes a weekTools: ChatGPT, Gemini, Google Sheets

The steps, in short

  1. Keep a simple list of open quotes and when you sent them.
  2. Have AI draft the two follow-up messages.
  3. Send the right one each week, changing the job detail each time.
  4. Close the quote after the final message.

A short sample prompt

I'm a plumber in [nation]. Draft two friendly follow-ups for a quote with no reply: a gentle nudge for [job] and a short, final note. No pressure, plain English.
