A communication initiated after a proposal has been submitted, seeking to ascertain the recipient’s progress in reviewing it and to express continued interest in the potential collaboration. This action typically involves a brief message referencing the original submission date and reiterating the key benefits offered. For example, after sending a marketing plan to a prospective client on June 1st, a communication could be sent on June 15th expressing availability to answer any questions they may have about the document.
Such an action is crucial for maintaining momentum and demonstrating proactive engagement. It serves to subtly remind the recipient of the proposal’s existence amidst competing priorities. Historically, this proactive step has been shown to increase the likelihood of a proposal being seriously considered and ultimately accepted, signaling dedication and diligence to potential partners or clients.
