## Your task
Write a follow-up email after a product demo from a manufacturing plant running shift-based production lines to [PROSPECT NAME]. Recap the three problems they mentioned, how we solve each, answers to open questions, and a clear next step with a date. Under 180 words.

- What we must respect: safety rules, ISO 9001 quality standards and fixed production schedules
- How we measure success: OEE and defect rate

## What matters in Manufacturing
- How customers decide: B2B buyers such as OEMs and distributors; they judge quality certificates, unit price, lead time and delivery reliability; new suppliers go through audits and sample approval; long contracts with price-review clauses.
- People involved: plant manager; production supervisors; line operators; quality engineers; maintenance team; procurement; EHS officer.
- Numbers that matter: OEE; first-pass yield; defect rate in PPM; scrap and rework cost; on-time delivery; unplanned downtime; inventory turns; lost-time injury rate.
- Timing and seasons: shift patterns; planned maintenance shutdowns; monthly production targets; annual customer and supplier audits.

Why this prompt works

The “Follow-up after a demo” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: follow-up email under 180 words. It makes the assistant work through 4 steps in order, starting with "recap the three problems they mentioned", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a manufacturing plant running shift-based production lines, so the assistant keeps safety rules, ISO 9001 quality standards and fixed production schedules in mind and judges the result by OEE and defect rate. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [PROSPECT NAME], [PASTE NOTES] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about OEE and defect rate before you share it.
