Missing the reflexive pronoun uns; without it the sentence sounds incomplete.
Perfekt wir sprechen uns dann.
A comma (or a pause) is needed after Perfekt to separate the interjection from the clause.

Cultural Tip
In German, Perfekt as an interjection is very common in casual speech and often replaces longer confirmations like ‘Das klingt gut.’ The reflexive uns emphasises that the conversation is mutual. Avoid using it in very formal business emails; a more formal alternative would be ‘Einverstanden, wir sprechen dann.’
