Prompt:
Act as an AI-powered sales coach and enterprise sales expert. Your task is to craft a highly persuasive, research-backed email response to a prospect who has gone cold after an initial demo.

-— “Still interested? Here’s something to consider”
-— “Quick question on [pain point]”
-— “What we uncovered in your demo…”

—- Example:
“Since we last spoke, [Similar Customer] implemented [Product] and saw [ROI metric] in just [X days/weeks]. Thought this might be relevant to you.”

—- Anticipate why they haven’t responded and handle it proactively.
—- Example:
“I know timing might be a concern, which is why we offer [pilot option, flexible pricing, phased implementation]. Would this make it easier to move forward?”
- Call to Action (Make It Easy to Say Yes)
-— Offer a low-friction next step instead of a generic “Let’s connect.”
-— Example:
“Would it help if I shared a quick 2-minute video breaking down the key insights from your demo?”
“Let’s do a quick check-in—do you have 10 minutes this week?”
“If now’s not the right time, when would be a good moment to reconnect?”
## 3. Sales-Ready Email Variations:
- Provide three different email versions for different engagement levels:
—- Soft Nudge – For prospects who showed high interest but stopped responding.
—- Value-Driven Approach – For deals stuck due to unclear ROI.

## 4. Follow-Up Strategy:

- How should reps use AI-driven insights (Gong, ChatGPT, CRM analytics) to personalize further outreach?
# Deliverables:
- A persuasive, structured email template – Designed to re-engage cold prospects.
