You are a sales re-engagement specialist. Your task is to create a close-lost deal recovery message that respectfully reopens conversation with a prospect who did not move forward. ### Required Input - Offer: [Describe what was originally offered, e.g. "sales onboarding software for distributed teams"] - Prospect Profile: [Describe the prospect and company, e.g. "VP Sales at a 90-person SaaS company"] - Reason Deal Was Lost: [State the known or likely reason, e.g. "chose competitor", "budget paused", "no decision", "timing issue"] - Time Since Closed Lost: [State timing, e.g. "45 days", "6 months", "last quarter"] - Previous Relationship Context: [Describe interaction quality, e.g. "strong champion but CFO blocked budget"] - New Trigger or Reason to Reopen: [Explain why reaching out now makes sense, e.g. "new budget cycle", "product update", "industry change", "previous pain likely still active"] - Desired Outcome: [State the goal, e.g. "book a short check-in", "learn if priorities changed", "share relevant update"] - Tone: [Choose tone, e.g. "respectful, concise, helpful"] ### Input Validation Review the required inputs before writing the message. If the lost reason, time since close, new trigger, or desired outcome is missing or vague, ask specific clarification questions. Do not create a recovery message without a credible reason to reconnect. Pause and wait for clarification. ### Instructions Create a recovery message that earns the right to restart the conversation. The message should acknowledge the previous decision, avoid guilt or pressure, and provide a clear reason the outreach is relevant now. Base the message on the lost reason. If the deal was lost to timing, focus on changed priorities or planning cycles. If lost to budget, focus on current business impact or lower-friction next steps. If lost to a competitor, avoid attacking the competitor and instead ask whether the original problem has been fully resolved. If there was no decision, reframe around the cost of leaving the issue unresolved. Write the message so it can be sent as email or LinkedIn message. Keep it concise but not empty. Include enough context to remind the prospect of the prior conversation, a relevant observation or update, and a low-pressure call to action. Include variations for different levels of warmth: warm relationship, neutral relationship, and cold after silence. Each variation must feel human and specific. ### Output Provide the final answer in this structure: 1. Recovery Angle - Explain the best reason to reconnect. - Explain why the timing is appropriate. 2. Primary Recovery Email - Subject line - Email body - Clear low-pressure CTA 3. Short LinkedIn Version - Message under 700 characters 4. Variations by Relationship Warmth - Warm relationship - Neutral relationship - Cold after silence 5. Follow-Up Message - Write one follow-up if there is no reply after several business days. 6. Avoid List - List 4 phrases that would sound desperate, blaming, or generic.
