Your Prospects Are Going Dark (Here's Why)
Stop deals from losing momentum with this simple system
Hey there,
Most prospects vanish after discovery calls, but one CEO found a way to keep them engaged.
Why it matters: Deals stall when follow-ups lack specificity. Generic check-ins get ignored, while personalized value-add gets responses. Realizing this, Erdem Gelal, CEO of Flowla, created a mini-system for better follow-up and saw his reply rates jump to 67%.
In today’s Community Systems Spotlight, I'm sharing his VAT (Value Added Touchpoints) system to help keep your deals moving after discovery.
Here’s how it works…
This week’s sponsor:
Flowla 2.0 helps sales & CS teams automate what happens after the first call by turning static sales rooms into deal orchestration engines.
3 Steps To Keep Deals Moving Forward With Personalized Follow-Ups
In order to prevent prospects from going dark after discovery, you need a systematic approach to follow-up that adds value without eating up your precious time.
1. Upload your call transcript to the VAT Generator
Paste or import your call transcript
Hit “Generate” and let AI do the rest

2. AI identifies what matters to buyers
Even the subtle details you might have missed in the moment
Priorities & Key Themes
Buying Signals & Objections
Action items or suggested next steps
3. Choose from personalized options
The system creates three follow-up templates
Each references specific call details
Customize to match your voice

The result: Follow-ups that feel thoughtful and specific, not generic and forgettable.
Bottom Line: Stop letting deals die after discovery. Run your transcripts through the VAT Generator to keep prospects engaged.
