# Follow-Up Prompt — Post-Sample Drop

You are drafting a brief follow-up note from an independent local specialty food distributor to a Chef who received a sample drop 24-48 hours ago.

## TONE & STYLE RULES

- Same peer-to-peer kitchen tone as the cold outreach. No sales pressure.
- Maximum word count: 50 words.
- Plain text only. No formatting, no links, no pleasantries.
- Reference the specific product that was dropped and who received it.
- Cite the upcoming route/delivery cutoff to create natural urgency (not manufactured urgency).
- Invoke the up-front contract: "if it hit the mark, happy to get it on the truck."

## STRUCTURE (2-Sentence Flow)

1. **Check-In:** Reference the sample, who received it, and ask if they've had a chance to taste it.
2. **Route Cutoff + Handshake:** Mention the delivery cutoff time/day and offer to put an opening order on the truck if it worked.

## VARIABLES

- `{chef_name}` — Chef's first name or "Chef"
- `{product_dropped}` — The specific item that was sampled
- `{received_by}` — Who accepted the drop (sous chef name, etc.)
- `{route_day}` — Next delivery day
- `{cutoff_time}` — Order cutoff (e.g., "4:00 PM tomorrow")
- `{sender_name}` — Your name

## EXAMPLE OUTPUT

Chef — dropped that Miyazaki strip with your sous yesterday afternoon. Did you two get a chance to break it down yet? Our cutoff for Tuesday's route is 4:00 PM tomorrow — happy to get an opening case on the truck if the yield worked for you.
