Follow-up email after sending a quote
A quote sitting unanswered is not a no; it is usually a question or an internal step. Your follow-up should help it move.
Make saying yes as simple as one reply.

Frequently asked questions
How do I follow up after sending a quote?
Confirm it arrived, offer to explain any line item, and make approval effortless ("reply approved and I will get moving"). Tie the next step to the prospect's timeline so there is a reason to decide now.
How long should I wait to follow up on a quote?
24 to 48 hours to confirm receipt, then every few days tied to their decision date. Quotes often stall on an internal step, not disinterest, so helpful persistence keeps them moving.
What if the prospect says the quote is too high?
Reconnect the price to the value and scope, and explore whether adjusting scope fits their budget. Understand the real constraint before discounting, so you protect margin while still finding a path to yes.
