Champion check-in email
Account executives
Send this to the internal person, not to the whole buying group. They offered to socialize the deal. You are asking whether that happened, and offering a forwardable note so they do not have to write one.
Subject. Are you still carrying this?
Hi — you were going to take this to the team. I have stayed out of the way while you did that.
If the conversation stalled, I can send a shorter note you can forward as it is. If it died, I would rather hear it from you than from silence.
Are you still carrying this internally?
- Yes
- Send a note I can forward
- It went quiet
In Gmail these are buttons. The recipient clicks one. The answer comes back to the thread. They do not install anything.
Before you send. Remind them which meeting they were going to use, if they named one. Do not add new pricing in the note you offer to have them forward.
Why this gets more replies
Champions go quiet because the internal meeting was awkward, or it never got on the agenda, and telling you that is a paragraph. A forwardable note removes the writing. “It went quiet” removes the excuse. Both are more useful than another “just checking you saw my last email.”
FAQ
What goes in the forwardable note?
Five lines: the problem, the ask, and what a yes means. No origin story. They are forwarding it to people who do not care how you met.
Should I email their boss directly?
Only if they clicked that it went quiet, and even then ask them first. Going around a champion who is still carrying it is how you lose the champion.
