Automated Client Follow-Up

Stop losing deals to silence. This skill reads your client or lead list, identifies contacts you haven't reached out to recently, and drafts personalized follow-up messages — so no opportunity slips through the cracks.

Run it weekly on a cron, or trigger it whenever you want to check who needs attention.

What You Get

  • Stale lead detection — contacts you haven't messaged in X days
  • Personalized follow-up drafts for each stale contact
  • Priority ranking based on deal value, last interaction, and lead stage
  • Follow-up stats (total contacts, stale count, overdue count)
  • Outreach log tracking — what you sent, when, and to whom
  • Setup

    Required

  • Client list — A CSV file, Google Sheet, or any structured list your agent can read. Minimum columns: name, email (or phone), last-contacted date. More columns = better personalization.
  • Optional (but recommended)

  • Send access — If you want the agent to send follow-ups after your approval (Gmail, Outlook, or SMS via Twilio)
  • CRM integration — If you use a CRM (HubSpot, Notion database, Airtable), point the agent at it instead of a CSV
  • Calendar access — So the agent can suggest meeting times in follow-ups
  • Delivery channel — Telegram/Discord for follow-up digest notifications
  • Configuration

    Tell your agent:

    1. Client list location — file path, Google Sheet URL, or CRM connection 2. Stale threshold — how many days without contact before a lead is "stale" (default: 14 days) 3. Critical threshold — how many days before a lead is "at risk" (default: 30 days) 4. Follow-up style — your tone (professional, casual, friendly, direct) so drafts match your voice 5. Follow-up schedule — when to run (default: every Monday at 9:00 AM local) 6. Max follow-ups per run — limit drafts per cycle (default: 10) 7. Delivery — where to send the follow-up digest (Telegram, Discord, file) 8. Industry/context — what your business does, so follow-ups are relevant (e.g., "web design agency", "real estate investor", "SaaS founder")

    How It Works

    Step 1: Load Client List

  • Read your client list from the configured source (CSV, Google Sheet, CRM, Notion)
  • For each contact, extract: name, email/phone, company (if available), last-contacted date, deal stage, deal value, notes
  • If last-contacted date is missing, flag the contact for manual review
  • Step 2: Identify Stale Contacts

    Sort contacts into 3 categories based on days since last contact:

    🔴 AT RISK — Over critical threshold (30+ days)

  • These leads are going cold. Follow-up is urgent.
  • Prioritize by deal value (highest value first)
  • 🟡 STALE — Over stale threshold (14-30 days)

  • Due for a check-in. Not urgent, but shouldn't wait another week.
  • Prioritize by deal stage (closest to closing first)
  • 🟢 ACTIVE — Within threshold (< 14 days)

  • Recently contacted. No action needed this cycle.
  • Skip these — don't over-contact
  • Step 3: Rank & Select

  • Rank all stale + at-risk contacts by priority score:
  • - Deal value weight: higher value = higher priority - Days overdue weight: more overdue = higher priority - Deal stage weight: closer to closing = higher priority
  • Select top N contacts (up to configured max per run)
  • Step 4: Draft Follow-Ups

    For each selected contact, draft a personalized follow-up message:
  • Use context: reference their company, deal stage, last conversation topic (from notes)
  • Match tone: use the configured follow-up style
  • Keep it short: 3-5 sentences max
  • Include a clear CTA: ask a question, propose a meeting, share something useful
  • Vary the approach: don't send the same template to everyone
  • - Re-engagement: "Haven't heard from you in a while — still interested in X?" - Value-add: "Saw this article about [their industry] and thought of you" - Check-in: "How's [project/initiative they mentioned] going?" - Nudge: "We had discussed [service/product] — any questions I can answer?" - Meeting request: "Would love to catch up — free for a quick call this week?"
  • Mark as DRAFT — never send without user approval
  • Step 5: Compile Follow-Up Digest

    Format the digest:

    🤝 Follow-Up Digest — [Date]

    📊 PIPELINE STATUS Total contacts: [X] | At risk: [X] | Stale: [X] | Active: [X] Oldest untouched: [X days] — [Contact Name]

    🔴 AT RISK ([X] contacts) 1. [Name] — [Company] | Last contact: [X days ago] Stage: [deal stage] | Value: [deal value] 📝 Draft: "[First line of follow-up...]"

    2. [Name] — [Company] | Last contact: [X days ago] Stage: [deal stage] | Value: [deal value] 📝 Draft: "[First line of follow-up...]"

    🟡 STALE ([X] contacts) 3. [Name] — [Company] | Last contact: [X days ago] Stage: [deal stage] 📝 Draft: "[First line of follow-up...]"

    4. [Name] — [Company] | Last contact: [X days ago] Stage: [deal stage] 📝 Draft: "[First line of follow-up...]"

    🟢 ACTIVE ([X] contacts) — no action needed

    💡 INSIGHTS • [X] contacts haven't been reached in 30+ days • Top deal at risk: [Name] — $[value] • Suggested: Block 30 min this week for follow-up calls

    Step 6: Deliver & Track

  • Send digest via configured channel (Telegram, Discord, or save to file)
  • Show full draft messages below the digest for review
  • When user approves a follow-up ("send 1" or "approve all"), send the messages
  • After sending, update the client list with the new last-contacted date
  • Log the outreach in memory/follow-up-log/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  • Examples

    User: "Check my follow-ups"

    Agent runs the workflow and responds:

    > 🤝 Follow-Up Digest — Monday, March 10 > > 📊 PIPELINE STATUS > Total contacts: 34 | At risk: 3 | Stale: 7 | Active: 24 > Oldest untouched: 45 days — Lisa Park > > 🔴 AT RISK (3 contacts) > 1. Lisa Park — Greenfield Properties | Last contact: 45 days ago > Stage: Proposal sent | Value: $4,800 > 📝 Draft: "Hi Lisa, I wanted to circle back on the proposal I sent over last month. Happy to walk through any questions or adjust the scope if needed. Would Thursday or Friday work for a quick call?" > > 2. James Wu — TechStart Inc | Last contact: 38 days ago > Stage: Discovery | Value: $2,400 > 📝 Draft: "Hey James, we had a great conversation about streamlining your onboarding process. I put together a few ideas since we last spoke — mind if I send them over?" > > 3. Maria Santos — Bloom Studio | Last contact: 31 days ago > Stage: Interested | Value: $1,200 > 📝 Draft: "Hi Maria, just checking in — are you still looking to revamp your client intake process?

    User: "Send 1 and 2. Edit 3 to mention we have a spring discount."

    Agent: Sends follow-ups 1 and 2 as drafted. Updates draft 3 with spring discount mention, shows updated version for approval.


    User: "Set up weekly follow-ups every Monday"

    Agent: Configures cron for Monday 9:00 AM, confirms: > "Client follow-up scheduled for every Monday at 9:00 AM. I'll scan your contact list, flag anyone going cold, and draft personalized messages for your review."


    User: "Add a new contact: Sarah Kim, sarah@buildright.co, met at conference, interested in the $495 setup"

    Agent: Adds to client list with today as first-contact date, stage: "Interested", notes: "Met at conference, interested in Guided Setup ($495)." Confirms the addition.

    Customization Ideas

  • Multi-channel follow-up — draft emails AND LinkedIn messages for the same contact
  • Auto-categorize new leads — when a new contact is added, auto-assign a deal stage and priority
  • Follow-up sequences — instead of one-off messages, create multi-touch sequences (Day 1: email, Day 3: LinkedIn, Day 7: call reminder)
  • Win/loss tracking — mark deals as won or lost, track conversion rate over time
  • Referral prompts — for active clients, suggest asking for referrals after successful projects
  • Meeting prep — before scheduled calls, pull up the contact's history and draft talking points
