The resultas reported

Reported: win rate went from 18% to 31% after the team moved from 1-2 generic follow-ups to a 7-touch personalized sequence. The post gives no time frame or deal count.

Peter San Pedro's team saw most deals die at the day-4 follow-up. They pulled 3 months of closed-lost deals, marked where each one dropped off, and gave Claude their offer and buyer profile to build a 7-touch sequence. Then they added objection-handling lines from their top closers. They did not change the offer or price.

If you sell: find your own day 4

  1. Pull the last 3 months of closed-lost deals.
  2. For each one, note the day and step where the buyer stopped replying.
  3. Give Claude your offer, your buyer profile and the drop-off point, using the prompt below.
  4. Ask for 7 touches with a subject line, body and objection response for each.
  5. Add the exact objection-handling words your top closers use.
  6. Run it on new deals and compare win rate with the old 1-2 email follow-up.
Copy-paste prompt · Prompt from the post
Here's our offer: [offer]. Our target buyer: [profile]. Most deals die at day 4 follow-up. Build a 7-touch follow-up sequence with specific subject lines, email body copy, and objection responses for each touchpoint. Tone: professional, direct, no fluff.

If you lead a team: roll it out

  1. Have reps tag the drop-off step on every closed-lost deal for one month.
  2. Build one shared follow-up sequence from that data and compare win rates by rep.

Watch out for

  • The post does not say over what period or how many deals the 31% covers, so treat it as one team's claim.
  • Change "day 4" to the point where your own deals go quiet.
  • Read every touch before it goes out. Seven emails can feel pushy if the copy repeats itself.
