Every Monday, get the five people you should catch up with, and a draft message for each

🧰 Before you start

• A Grok Bot account (free trial, then The X Subscription Premium)
• A contacts list: a Google Sheet, Excel file or CRM export with name, company, how you know them and the date you last spoke

🪜 Steps (tick as you go)

1. ☐
   1. Tidy your contacts sheet

   Make sure it has at least: name, company, role, how you know them, last contact date, and a notes column. A rough 'last spoke' month is fine.

2. ☐
   2. Create the bot

   Install Grok Bot (buttons below), choose New, then Create new Bot, and call it Catch-up. Share the sheet with it, or upload the file.

3. ☐
   3. Paste the prompt

   Use the 'Monday catch-up list' prompt below. Fill in how long counts as 'gone quiet' for you (for example 90 days) and the kind of people you want first (past clients, referrers).

4. ☐
   4. Schedule it

   Ask the bot to run every Monday at 8am your time. Grok Bot calls these routines.

5. ☐
   5. Send them yourself

   Each Monday, read the five drafts, fix anything that doesn't sound like you, and send from your own email, LinkedIn or WhatsApp.

6. ☐
   6. Close the loop

   Reply to the bot with who you contacted, so it updates the 'last contact' dates and doesn't pick the same people next week.

💬 Prompts to copy

Every Monday at [8am, time zone], open my contacts in [sheet or file name].
Pick the 5 people I should catch up with this week: people I last contacted more than [90] days ago, starting with [past clients / people who sent me referrals / partners].
For each person, search the web for anything public from the last 3 months (new job, company news, an article or post they wrote). Only use what you can link to.
Give me for each: name, why now (with the link), and a draft message of under 70 words that sounds like me: warm, specific, no selling, ending with an easy question.
Never send anything yourself. When I tell you who I contacted, update their 'last contact' date in the sheet.
