How to Write Follow-Up Emails to Check in on Sent Proposals?

You sent a proposal — but heard nothing. Should you follow up? When? What should you say? Most freelancers either ghost or send awkward “Just checking in” messages. With Summrly, you can generate polite, professional follow-up emails that nudge without annoying. Just enter the client and project, and AI creates a timely, value-added message — so you stay top of mind and increase your win rate.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

Most deals come from follow-ups — not first messages. A content-first approach means preparing your follow-upbeforesending the proposal. Summrly uses your service and the client’s needs to generate respectful, strategic reminders that add new context (“I just published a case study on similar work”) — so you stand out in a busy inbox.

Step-by-Step Guide
  1. Create Your First Topic: Enter the client or project like “website redesign for wellness coach.”
  2. Set Up Your Content Focus: Choose follow-up type (gentle reminder, added value, final check-in) and timing (3 days, 7 days).
  3. Add Keywords: Include phrases like “excited to collaborate,” “recent success,” or “client results” — AI weaves them in naturally.
  4. Brand Details: Add your original proposal summary, portfolio link, and any new wins (e.g., “just helped a similar client grow traffic by 40%”).
  5. Complete Setup: Get AI-generated follow-up emails with subject lines, body copy, and CTAs — ready to send.

Enter the client or project below to generate your first professional follow-up email — and turn silence into yes.

Case Study: Taylor’s Design Studio

Taylor sent 12 proposals with zero replies. She used Summrly to input “brand identity for eco-lifestyle brand” and selected “7-day follow-up with added value.” In 5 minutes, she had an email: “I recently shared a rebranding case study — my client saw a 55% increase in engagement. I’d love to bring that clarity to your brand.” She sent it with a link. The client replied the same day and scheduled a call — and signed 3 days later.
