Why this prompt works
<p>This prompt lets you generate follow-up emails adapted to any professional context. The key to a good follow-up lies in balancing <strong>persistence</strong> and <strong>respect for the recipient</strong>. By specifying the follow-up type and desired tone, the AI automatically calibrates the level of formality and assertiveness.</p><p>For the best results, be precise about the context of the first exchange. The more details you provide about <strong>what was discussed or sent</strong>, the more natural and personalized the follow-up will be. Also indicate how many follow-ups have already been sent: the tone of a first follow-up differs considerably from a third.</p><p>The differentiating element of this prompt is the requirement for <strong>added value</strong> in each follow-up. Rather than a simple "just following up", the email will include new information, a useful resource or a concrete proposal that legitimately justifies the contact.</p>
