Follow-Up Written From What They Read
Turns proposal view activity into a follow-up that answers the objection they were stuck on, without telling them you watched them read.
What it is for
Knowing that a proposal was opened, and which section held the reader, only matters if it changes what you write next. This reads the view activity as a diagnosis — the price is the blocker, it is being circulated internally, the opening lost them — and produces a short email that answers that one thing. It also forbids the move that kills the deal: telling the buyer you watched them read.
The skill
Write a follow-up for a proposal that has been opened and not signed. Use the view activity as evidence about what worries them, never as a fact I mention to them. Sent: [date] Opened: [dates and times] Sections with the most time on them: [...] Sections never reached: [...] Opened by more than one person: [yes/no, how many] Last thing they said to me: [quote] Read it before writing: - Long time on pricing, nothing after it: the number is the problem, or they are building an internal case. Send the justification, not a discount. - Opened, stopped early, never reached the scope: either they are not the decision maker, or the opening did not earn the next scroll. - Several viewers, days apart: it is being circulated. Give them something forwardable — one paragraph they can paste into their own email. - Never opened: the email failed, not the proposal. Change the subject line and the send time, not the document. Write the email: - Under 120 words. - First sentence is about their decision, not about my follow-up. - One specific thing: an answer, a risk removed, a reference, a date. - One question they can answer in one word. - No "just checking in", no "circling back", no "bumping this up". - Never write "I saw you opened it" or mention time spent on a page. It is true, and it is repellent. If the honest read is that the deal is dead, say so and write the closing email that gets a real answer instead of another silence.
How to install it
1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template. 2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona. 3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
