Hi {{first_name}},

I understand that cash flow can be unpredictable. If paying Invoice [[invoice number]] ([[amount]]) in full right now isn't feasible, I'm open to discussing a payment schedule.

Could you let me know what timeline would work on your end? I'd rather find a solution that works for both of us than let this sit unresolved.

Hi {{first_name}},

I've been in touch with [[primary contact name]] about the [[project name]] proposal and wanted to check in to see if there's anything I can help move forward on your end.

Hi {{first_name}},

I've followed up a couple of times on the [[project name]] proposal and haven't heard back, so I'll assume the timing isn't right for now.

Happy to reconnect if anything changes. The proposal stands as-is, and I can update the timeline whenever it makes sense on your end.

Hi {{first_name}},

Since I sent the [[project name]] proposal, we wrapped up a similar project for [[case study company or anonymized reference]]. The result: [[one-sentence outcome, e.g., "a 40% reduction in onboarding time within the first quarter"]].

I can share more details if it helps build the case internally. Let me know.

Hi {{first_name}},

I know proposals like this often need to go through several rounds internally. No rush on my end, but it would help me plan if I had a rough sense of when your team expects to make a call on this.

Is there a timeline I should work with?

[[Your name]]

Hi {{first_name}},

Quick note on the [[project name]] proposal. We have a few project slots opening in [[month]] that might line up with your timeline. Wanted to flag that in case it affects your decision.

Happy to adjust the scope or timeline if anything has changed on your end since we last spoke.

[[Your name]]

Hi {{first_name}},

Does [[day]] or [[day]] work?
