No Reply After Sending Quote

You sent the quote, and then… nothing. Here's how to follow up without sounding desperate.

The scenario

You sent a detailed quote 5 days ago after a good discovery call. The prospect said they'd review and get back. No response to your quote or your first follow-up email.

Input

Situation: No reply after sending quote Context: Sent quote 5 days ago, one follow-up ignored Tone: Professional, slightly urgent Urgency: High—quarter ending soon

Generated reply

Subject: [Quote] – Any questions? Hi [Name], Just wanted to check in on the quote I sent over last week. I know these decisions take time, but I also wanted to flag: we're approaching the end of the quarter, and I can hold the pricing I quoted until [date]—after that, I may not be able to match it. If you're still evaluating, I'm happy to jump on a quick call to walk through any questions. Or if now's not the right time, just let me know and I'll circle back later. Either way, I don't want you to miss the window if you were planning to move forward. Best, [Your name]

Why it works

This follow-up creates urgency without being pushy. The quarter-end deadline is a real business constraint that justifies the outreach. The "let me know if now's not right" line gives them an easy out.

Key takeaways

1Use real deadlines to create urgency
2Offer a call to address unspoken concerns
3Give them permission to say "not now"
4Reference the quote specifically—don't make them search
