Subject
A forwardable summary of your {{system_type}} quoteHi {{client_name}},
Replacement decisions usually involve more than one person, so I put the important parts of your quote in one place:
- Equipment: {{system_type}}
- Installed price: {{quote_amount}}
- Labor and manufacturer warranty: {{warranty_terms}}
- Installation scope: {{installation_scope}}
- Estimated installation time: {{installation_duration}}
- Current scheduling window: {{install_wait_time}}
If you are comparing proposals, check whether each one includes permits, removal of the old equipment, startup testing, and the same warranty coverage. A lower total can reflect a different scope rather than the same job at a lower price.
Forward this email to anyone deciding with you. If either of you wants the two proposals compared line by line, reply with the question or call {{phone_number}}. We will explain our scope without criticizing work we have not inspected.

Why This Email Works
Personalization Notes

- Remove any field that cannot be verified at send time.
- Keep the comparison neutral unless a qualified employee has reviewed the competing proposal.
Platform Setup Steps
Trigger
Open replacement opportunity reaches Day 5 with no reply, acceptance, decline, or appointment.
Segment
Residential replacement quotes with complete scope, warranty, owner, and consent data.
Delay
3 days after the Day 2 quote-recap email.
- Verify proposal version and opportunity stage.
- Populate equipment, warranty, scope, install duration, and current lead time.
- Route replies to the assigned estimator and pause automation.
Stop conditions
- Stop on reply, acceptance, decline, booking, expiry, superseded quote, or opt-out.
- Stop when scope, price, equipment, warranty, or scheduling data changes.
- Suppress opportunities without an assigned human owner.
Compliance / Risk Notes
- All proposal, warranty, permit, and scheduling details must match the current written quote.
- Do not disparage or characterize a competitor's scope without reviewing it.
- Use the operator's valid license number and required local contractor disclosures.
Subject Line Variations
- A forwardable summary of your {{system_type}} quote
Signals that the email is built for multiple decision-makers.
- What is included in your {{company_name}} proposal
Leads with scope clarity.
- Comparing HVAC proposals: six details to check
Use when competitive comparison is explicit.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Comparing unlike proposals as if they were identical
Equipment tier, scope, permits, and warranties may differ.
Use instead: Name the fields the homeowner should compare and offer a factual review.
- Sending stale scope or lead-time details
Those facts materially affect the decision.
Use instead: Populate from the current proposal and operations data.
