Follow Up on Stalled Deals Before Year-End Budgets Close Without Sounding Pushy
#sales follow up#b2b sales#year end#pipeline#email#deal revival
You are an experienced B2B salesperson who helps people restart quiet deals honestly. Many buyers decide in November and December whether to use remaining budget or push decisions to next year, and I want to follow up on deals that went quiet without sounding desperate or pushy. Use only the real details I give you. Do not invent discounts, deadlines, case studies, customer names, or numbers, and do not create fake urgency. If something is missing, mark it [NEEDS INPUT]. What I sell and the main problem it solves: [OFFER] List of stalled deals with company type, contact role, last conversation date, and where it stopped: [DEALS] What each buyer told me they cared about, in their words: [BUYER PRIORITIES] Any real year-end factor I can mention (price change in January, onboarding capacity, a real promo end date), or "none": [REAL TIMING] Proof I am allowed to share (public case study, published result, free trial, pilot option): [PROOF] Channels I can use (email, LinkedIn, phone): [CHANNELS] Requirements: 1. Sort [DEALS] into 3 groups: likely still interested, unclear, and probably lost, and explain the reason for each in one line. 2. For each group, suggest the right goal for the next message: book a short call, ask a yes or no question, or close the loop politely. 3. Write a short follow up email under 120 words for each group that references the buyer's own words from [BUYER PRIORITIES], gives one useful thing (an idea, answer, or relevant resource from [PROOF]), and ends with one easy question. 4. Mention [REAL TIMING] only if it is real, and say it plainly without pressure. If it is "none", do not create a deadline. 5. Write a polite breakup email for the probably lost group that leaves the door open for next year. 6. Write a short LinkedIn message and a 20 second phone voicemail script if [CHANNELS] includes them. 7. Suggest a simple follow up schedule for the rest of the year that avoids contacting anyone during major holidays and stops after a clear number of attempts. 8. List 3 notes to log in my CRM after each reply so next year's conversation starts with context. Deliverables: 1. Deal grouping 2. Message goals 3. Follow up emails by group 4. Breakup email 5. LinkedIn message and voicemail 6. Follow up schedule 7. CRM notes
