Use concise quotation follow-ups that help a client decide without sounding pushy.
Confirm delivery first
Send a short message within one business day to confirm the client received the quotation and can open any attachment. Invite questions about scope, not just price.
Follow the decision timeline
If the client gave a decision date, follow up then. Otherwise use the quote validity period as a natural reference. Mention the quotation number and outcome you need: approval, revision, a call or closure.
Learn from no decisions
A polite final message can ask whether timing, scope or budget stopped the project. Record the reason in your sales process. Avoid endless automated chasing after the client has declined.

Frequently asked questions
How soon should I follow up?
Confirm receipt promptly, then follow the client decision date or wait two to five business days depending on urgency.
Should I offer a discount in the first follow-up?
Usually not without understanding the objection. A scope adjustment may be healthier than an unexplained discount.
