10 minutes to try / includes a prompt, worked example, and review checklist

Who it is for

Sales, customer success, consulting, and anyone writing for people outside the company.

What you should get

  • Write stronger outreach
  • Prepare client-ready follow-ups
  • Make explanations easier to understand

The walkthrough

Write a follow-up that earns the next conversation.

01

Separate requests from promises

Capture what the client asked for and what your team actually agreed to deliver. Remove confidential information your AI tool is not approved to process.

02

Draft a short follow-up

Use the prompt to draft an email. Give AI an approved example of your writing if the first version sounds unlike you.

03

Read it as the client

Check whether any sentence creates an unintended promise. Verify names, dates, pricing, and attachments. Edit and send the email yourself.

Your starting prompt

Hi [Name],

Thanks for sharing your priorities: faster onboarding and a single support contact.
