When a Client Goes Quiet — 12 Freelance Follow-up Messages

A proposal is waiting for a decision. You want to follow up without writing the same awkward email again.

Choose the situation, adapt the message and send it in your existing client conversation. £0.99 one-time purchase; any applicable tax is shown at checkout.

WHAT YOU GET

One editable, searchable plain-text (.txt) download with 12 messages: agree a decision date; missed decision date; inaccessible proposal; more time needed; internal approval; budget objection; unclear scope; comparing suppliers; approaching start date; paused project; close the loop; returning prospect.

Each includes when to use it and a practical next step or caution. Also includes a quick chooser, send checklist and simple follow-up record.

FREE SAMPLE — agree a decision date

“Hi [name], Have you had a chance to review the proposal for [project]? If it is still under consideration, what would be a useful date for me to check back? If priorities have changed, a brief note is absolutely fine. Thanks, [your name]”

Choose ONE message that fits; this is not a 12-email sequence. Respect a no, a pause or an agreed future date.

FOR FREELANCERS WITH EXISTING PROPOSAL CONVERSATIONS

This is a writing pack, not software. No automatic sending, tracking or reminders. No subscription. Read and copy it in a standard text editor; sending is manual. Choose a ready-organised starting point and adapt it to your proposal.

Keep the pack handy for your next proposal conversation, with scenarios and stop rules in one place. Adapt for your own business use; do not resell or redistribute the pack. File questions: quotefollowupkit@gmail.com.
