Follow Up on Quotes That Went Silent With an AI-Written Three-Touch Plan
Paste quotes from the last two months that never booked into ChatGPT or Claude and get a three-touch text and email plan without "just checking in". A cleaning-company owner says his automated Claude setup closed nearly $20K of stale leads.

Explain it simply
Quotes that go quiet are often just busy customers. An AI chat app writes a short, specific nudge for each one, an answer to the likely objection, and a polite 'should I close your file?'. You send them yourself, only to people who gave you their number for the job.
What was done
The copy-paste version on this page is our template: list unsold quotes from 14 to 60 days ago with one note each, run the prompt and send the drafts yourself.
The owner in the source runs an automated version: Claude reads conversations in the Quo phone app and drafts follow-up texts, and the team has a 3-hour window to veto each one before it sends.
How it went
The owner posted: "Claude and @gowithquo integration has closed nearly $20K worth of stale leads since it launched". He says it "Took a few weeks to fine tune".
- That is one self-reported post about an automated setup, with no breakdown of the $20K. The copy-paste version here is untested.
- US texting needs consent. Stop at the first no and honor STOP replies.
Prompt
Context: You are an owner or salesperson with quotes from the last 14–60 days that never booked. Run it weekly on that list.
Act as a friendly, low-pressure follow-up writer for [BUSINESS_NAME], a [BUSINESS_TYPE].
These leads asked for a quote 14–60 days ago and went silent:
[PASTE_LEADS: first name | service | quote amount | quote date | one note from the conversation]
For EACH lead, write a 3-touch sequence with an SMS version and a short email version of each touch:
- Never use "just checking in", "circling back" or "touching base".
- Touch 1 (Day 1): one short, specific question: are they still planning [THEIR_PROJECT] before [SEASON_OR_DATE], or is it on hold?
- Touch 2 (Day 4): answer the most likely objection (price, timing or hassle). If price, offer [SMALLER_OPTION] if I've listed one. Use a real result only if I paste it here: [REAL_RESULT_OR_LEAVE_BLANK]. Never invent results, reviews or numbers.
- Touch 3 (Day 9): politely ask if I should close their file. Mention holding their quoted price only if this is true: [PRICE_HOLD_POLICY].
- Every SMS: under 2 sentences, from [SENDER_NAME], and ending with "Reply STOP to opt out" on the first text.
- Use each lead's note so no two messages read the same.Our template, cleaned from an outside draft and checked against the official help pages. Replace the [brackets]; check every number before you act on it.
