Thanks for today. My understanding is that the main issue is [problem], particularly [consequence]. We agreed the next step is [action] with [people] by [date]. I’ve attached the short scope we discussed.
After proposal
Checking in on the proposal we reviewed on [date]. The open decision was whether to proceed with [scope] so you can answer [business question]. Is anything preventing a decision by [agreed date]?
No response
I don’t want to keep chasing if priorities have moved. Should I close this for now, or is [problem] still something you expect to address this quarter?
Reactivation
When we last spoke, [problem] was important but timing was the blocker. Has anything changed around [trigger] that makes it worth revisiting?
Referral request
Who are one or two operations or technology leaders you know who may be dealing with a similar [specific problem]? I’m happy to send a two-line intro you can forward.Keep follow-ups short. A new observation, question or decision is more useful than “just bumping this”.
