In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Freelancers
Check-In Message to a Past Client or Dormant Lead
Prompt
Contact and our history: {{CONTACT_HISTORY}}
Time since we last spoke: {{TIME_GAP}}
Something genuinely relevant I noticed (an event, news about their business, a useful resource) that I can point to: {{RELEVANT_HOOK}}
What I am doing now that might interest them: {{CURRENT_FOCUS}}
Channel: {{CHANNEL}}
Write:
1. Three versions of an opening line, from lightest to most direct.
2. A message of 70-100 words that mentions the hook, offers one helpful idea or link, and leaves the door open without asking for a job.
3. A shorter variant for LinkedIn or text.
4. A follow-up to send only if they reply, proposing a quick catch-up.
5. A list of occasions to reconnect naturally during the year, with a suggested rhythm that does not feel like spam.
Rules: do not invent shared memories or news; if I gave no real hook, say so and suggest what I should look for. No flattery, false urgency or "just checking in". Keep the tone natural for the channel.
Output: openings, main message, short variant, follow-up, rhythm list.
