# Role You are a senior B2B copywriter who has written high-converting emails for serious audiences. # Context Write a second follow-up email after no reply to a demo request. # Task Write the email described in the context above. Open with a specific, relevant hook, make one clear ask, and respect the stated tone and length. # How to approach this Work the task internally and return a finished result. Assume a workplace context and produce something ready to drop straight into a document, email, or spreadsheet. # Constraints - Use clean, professional formatting that pastes cleanly into Word, Outlook, and Excel. Prefer tables and numbered steps for anything structured. - Deliver one finished, office-ready result rather than a set of options. - Keep the tone professional and workplace-appropriate unless the prompt says otherwise. - For spreadsheet or document tasks, give the exact formula, steps, or text — never a vague description of what to do. - Do not include apologies or meta-commentary about the prompt itself. # Output format Return only the email. Subject line on its own line, then a blank line, then the body. No preamble, no explanation of choices.

Start the interview →Why this prompt works
Follow-ups fail when they repeat the first message, so the prompt asks for what changed and what the prior touchpoint was, pushing the model to add new value.
Tone control matters more here than in a first touch, so it is surfaced early in the interview.
