FINALLY got a connection with the client

I've been going after this design firm for MONTHS, with no returned calls or emails. FINALLY, after showing tenacity and interest in their work I was able to make several connections there. VERY excited to just have the opportunity to work with them.

Great work! I hope it closes quickly for you!

My toughest break-in took 9 months and 12 different contact channels (the usual plus asking for intros of mutual connections, attending webinars they featured in, live event stalking, industry groups…) then they came through a “web lead”. Fkn typical 💀

You've built rapport, took them through your value proposition, scheduled follow-ups, everything feels great. Now it's decision time and.... GHOSTED... How do you recapture their attention and when is it time to hit them with a break-up email?
