A customer went quiet and nobody noticed

You sent a proposal, the customer never replied, and it was forgotten. Why it happens, what you can do yourself today, and how AI solves it.

01 / What it looks like

Sound familiar?

02 / Free

What you can do yourself today.

Three steps with no cost and no us. Often that alone cuts the losses noticeably.

01

One waiting list

Keep a table: who we wrote to, about what, when we expect a reply. Once a day, look at what is overdue.

02

A deadline on the day you send

When you send a proposal, put a reminder in the calendar for the third working day.

03

Two ready texts

Write a gentle reminder and a last check-in. Change only the name and the subject.

03 / The cause

Why it happens.

A customer's silence gives no sign: there is no email, so it seems there is nothing to follow up. The manager has to remember on their own, on top of a full workload.

04 / The fix

How AI solves it.

You sent a customer a proposal or an invoice and you are waiting for an answer. Days pass, the manager gets new enquiries, and remembers that email by chance or not at all. Meanwhile the customer is making a deal with someone else.

Today

Today only the manager remembers the silence

They send a proposal and move on to the next customer. A week later they remember, or they do not. To find who has not replied, they open threads one by one.

Press "Show how it works": six steps, one at a time.

Step 1 of 6 · What comes in

The correspondence goes on as usual

The manager sends a proposal from their mailbox or CRM. There is nothing new to do.

The system sees the thread and notes who spoke last.

Example email
FromManager 1ToClient 2SubjectProposal for A4 paperSent10.10
A4 paper: 200 packs at 310 ₽ = 62,000 ₽.
Waiting for your decision.
Step 2 of 6 · What gets done

A rule finds who is silent

Every day the system looks for threads where we wrote last and there is no reply for longer than the time you set. One time for customers, another for suppliers.

If the person already answered in a connected channel, the thread does not make the list.

Check result on 19.10
✓Client 2: our message is the last one, silent for 9 days
✓Client 5: our message is the last one, silent for 4 days
Client 7: replied yesterday, not on the list
Step 3 of 6 · What gets done

AI reads the thread and drafts a reminder

First it checks whether the last message is waiting for an answer. "Thanks, understood" needs no reminder. An unanswered question about price does.

Then it writes a short reminder that takes in what was already discussed.

Draft reminder
Hello! I wanted to check whether you had a chance to look at the proposal for A4 paper (200 packs, 62,000 ₽). If you need a different quantity or date, let me know and I will recalculate.
Step 4 of 6 · Who decides

The manager decides whether to write

They see the list and the drafts. They edit the text, send it themselves from their own mailbox, or put it off. If the customer replied by phone, one tap records it.

The system sends nothing to a customer on its own. A person decides when and what to write.

Step 5 of 6 · What comes out

The reminder goes out from the manager

The email leaves from the manager's usual mailbox, in their name. For the customer it looks like any other email.

After that the system waits again. If there is still no reply, the thread comes back to the list.

Step 6 of 6 · What comes out

Once a week: who is silent and for how much

One short list for the owner: which conversations have stalled and how much money sits in them.

Suppliers who promised a price and disappeared are on the same list.

Review my case
05 / Security

Security, point by point.

  1. AI runs on Russian models — YandexGPT or GigaChat.
  2. In operation the system uses Russian models and Russian cloud — your clients' data does not go to foreign services.
  3. Access only to what the task needs. You can revoke it at any time.
  4. Every AI action is logged: you can see what it did and when.
  5. Anything that goes outside — an email, a reply to a client, a document — is approved by your employee first.
06 / Questions

Frequent questions.

Will AI write to customers by itself?

No. AI drafts, the manager edits and sends. Nothing goes out without a person.

What if the customer already replied by phone?

The manager marks it with one tap and the conversation leaves the list. If the reply came into the connected mail or CRM, the system sees it by itself.

How much does it cost?

As one automated process: from ₽250,000, 2–6 weeks.

How is this different from a chatbot that costs a few thousand roubles?

A cheap bot answers questions, and that is all. We build AI into your work: the enquiry lands in your CRM by itself, gets an owner, and the result shows in your reports. Scope and price are fixed before we start, there is a 30-day warranty after launch, and we stay in touch.

Who owns what you set up?

You do. The data, the subscriptions, the accounts and the system itself are in your name. We host nothing and own nothing: we set everything up in your services, under your accounts, and leave. You pay for the subscriptions directly, with no mark-up from us. For the first 30 days after launch, fixes are free. After that, if anything needs fixing or extending, we come back when you ask and reply within one business day.
