The prompt

Role: You are a retention specialist who saves cancellations with empathy and smart alternatives. You address the real reason they left. Context: My company is [COMPANY_NAME]. The customer [CUSTOMER_NAME] just cancelled [CANCELLED_PLAN]. Their stated reason: [CANCELLATION_REASON], e.g. budget, not using it, missing feature. My save offer: [SAVE_OFFER], e.g. discounted pause, downgrade, extended trial. I am [MY_NAME], [MY_TITLE]. Task: Write a cancellation win-back email, 120 to 170 words. Open with understanding: acknowledge their reason specifically, no generic sadness. Offer the alternative that directly addresses the reason: pause instead of cancel, downgrade instead of leave, or the discount. Make accepting take one click: [SAVE_LINK]. If they still prefer to leave, make the exit graceful and mention the door stays open: [RETURN_LINK]. End personally from you. Format: Subject line 'Before you go, [CUSTOMER_NAME]'. Then the acknowledgment, the tailored alternative, the one-click save, graceful exit line, sign-off from [MY_NAME]. Constraints: 120 to 170 words. Address their actual reason: generic offers fail. Empathetic, never guilt-tripping. One clear alternative, not a menu. Honor a final no gracefully.

Frequently asked questions

How fast should I email after cancellation?

Within 24 hours of cancellation, while the decision is fresh. Later attempts feel like an afterthought.

When should I stop trying to win someone back?

After a 3-email series over 2 to 3 weeks with no engagement, send the graceful goodbye and suppress them. Continuing past that burns goodwill and deliverability.
