Generates follow-up emails that actually get responses without sounding desperate or annoying. Takes your original email context, how many days have passed, and which follow-up number you're on (1-3), then adapts the strategy accordingly. First follow-up adds new value, second tries a different angle, third uses a breakup approach to create urgency. Enforces hard rules like keeping it under 75 words, no "just checking in" filler, and no guilt trips about not hearing back. The stat about 42% of replies coming from follow-ups is real, and most people just resend the same email or give up. This gives you three distinct frameworks (Bump, Value-Add, Breakup) so each touchpoint feels fresh instead of naggy.

Write Follow-Up Email

Generate a follow-up email that re-engages prospects who didn't respond.

Input

Parse $ARGUMENTS for:

  • Original email or context of first outreach
  • Days since last email: How long ago was it sent
  • Follow-up number: Is this #1, #2, or #3?
  • New context (optional): News, trigger events, new value to offer

If original context is missing, ask for the key points from the first email.

Strategy by Follow-Up Number

Follow-up #1 (3-5 days after)

  • Assume they're busy, not uninterested
  • Add new value or angle
  • Keep it shorter than original

Follow-up #2 (7-10 days after)

  • Try a different approach
  • Share a relevant insight or resource
  • Reframe the value prop

Follow-up #3 (14+ days after)

  • "Break-up" email or permission-based close
  • Give them an easy out
  • Last attempt before moving on

Frameworks

The Bump

  • Quick, friendly nudge
  • "Floating this back up" energy
  • Best for follow-up #1

The Value-Add

  • Share something useful (article, insight, idea)
  • Shows you're thinking about their problems
  • Best for follow-up #2
