Let AI Draft Your Follow-Ups, Proposals, and Check-Ins
Your inbox isn’t just clutter—it’s cash flow waiting to happen.
Every “just checking in” you never sent…Every proposal you meant to follow up on…Every lead that went cold while you got busy…
That’s real revenue left behind.
But here’s the fix:
Let AI handle your follow-ups while you focus on real work.
Why Your Inbox Is a Gold Mine (and a Graveyard)
Most small business owners don’t have a lead problem.They have a “keeping up” problem.
You don’t need more calls. You need to follow up with the people who already said yes, maybe, or soon.
What AI Can Do for You Today
Let’s break it down. Here’s what you can hand off to ChatGPT right now.
Follow-Ups Paste your last email or notes from a call. Then prompt:“Write a friendly follow-up that reminds them about our last conversation and keeps it casual, not salesy.”
Proposals After a discovery call, prompt:“Write a short proposal email that summarizes the client’s goals and how we’ll help. Include clear next steps.”
Check-Ins Re-engage leads that went quiet 30+ days ago with:“Draft a casual check-in email for a lead I talked to last month. Remind them what we discussed and offer to answer any questions.”
AI Follow-Up Workflow
✅ Drop your notes or last email into ChatGPT ✅ Use one of the prompts above ✅ Review and personalize the draft ✅ Send or schedule immediately
That’s it.The entire process takes less time than warming up your coffee.
The ball is in your court. AI just makes sure you never drop it.
Pro Tip: Save Your Best Prompts
Once you find a follow-up prompt that works, save it.
Keep a swipe file in your notes app or CRM.Reusing great prompts is how you build momentum fast.
You Don’t Need More Time
You Need Smarter Systems
With ChatGPT, you can:
Reach out more often (without sounding repetitive)
Stay organized, even if your inbox isn’t
Free up your brainpower for higher-value tasks
It’s like hiring a part-time assistant who never forgets to follow up.
