Revive a Stalled or Ghosted Deal

Diagnose why a deal went dark and generate a re-engagement message, a pattern interrupt, and a breakup option.

About this prompt

This prompt helps AEs and inside sales reps re-engage deals that have gone dark after discovery, demo, proposal, or negotiation. It diagnoses likely reasons for the silence, produces a revival email with a new angle, offers a pattern interrupt option using a different channel or entry point, and provides a breakup message for when it's time to close the file. Use it when a deal has been silent for two or more weeks with no clear reason.Deals go dark for reasons that are almost never what they seem — and a nudge email makes it worse. This prompt starts with a diagnosis of the most likely reasons for silence based on the stage the deal was in and how long it's been quiet, then builds a revival message that gives the prospect a reason to re-engage now rather than just reminding them you exist. Input the deal stage when they went dark, time since last contact, what the last interaction was, any intel on why they went quiet, and the prospect's details. Use this when a deal has been cold for more than two weeks and standard sequence follow-ups have failed. For recently stalled deals (less than a week), use a simpler follow-up prompt. The pattern interrupt options — video, voice note, or a different contact at the account — are worth trying before moving to the breakup. For best output, be specific about what happened in the last interaction, not just the stage.
