The kit
The Follow-Up Kit
Written for your business by Stelios. Twelve emails for three quiet jobs, ready within 48 hours.
- Three quiet jobs. Four follow-ups on each. Twelve finished emails, ready to copy and send.
- Day 1: a short nudge. The amount, what it is for, and a straight yes, no, or a day.
- Day 3: one new reason to answer. A fix, an option, or a date you can hold. The amount stays in.
- Day 7: the direct ask. The amount, the date, a deadline, and what happens if that day passes.
- Day 14: last call. Polite, final, and easy to answer. The door stays open.
One job is shown below. You get this same four-day sequence for three jobs, written from the names, amounts, and dates you send.
Day 1
Hi Mike, it's Dana at Coastal Roofing. The estimate for the roof on Laurel Ave went out Monday 6 October, $4,800, covering the leak and the full replacement. I know the week fills up. A yes, a no, or the day you want to look at it is enough.
Day 3
Hi Mike, Dana again. The $4,800 estimate for Laurel Ave, sent 6 October, does not have to be the whole roof at once. I can do the leak first and hold Thursday 16 October for that visit. Say if you want that version, or a different day.
Day 7
Hi Mike, the Laurel Ave roof is still $4,800, from the estimate dated 6 October. I need a yes or a no by Friday 17 October. If that day passes with no answer, I release the hold and the quote lapses.
Day 14
Hi Mike, this is my last note on the Laurel Ave roof, $4,800, quoted 6 October. I am closing the file on Friday 24 October. If you still want the work, reply with a day and I will reopen it.
