How do you deal with prospects who liked your product but then begin to ghost you?

I've conducted plenty demos and a lot of times, the prospect seems genuinely interested in your product, however, send them a proposal and try contacting them for an update and you learn they're ghosting you ๐Ÿ‘ป


Calls, emails, texts - no answer! Did I do something wrong? Did I not build a good enough relationship with the lead?


How do you deal with such leads?

Confirmed next steps agreed to before the demo ends, clarifying what the evaluation process is and who is involved, clarification around need and paint points so if they stall I can send an email saying "You told me X was a concern. Still wanting to solve it?"

First one is key, otherwise you're left scrambling to set next steps later. It sounds like you may need to tighten discovery before the demo so you have the opportunity properly qualified.

Maybe try to address their concerns during Demos (if they have any), alwaysย  betterย to ask. Also try to define next steps before finishing the Demo and ask for forecast to implement the solution.

"assuming" (and I hate to assume) you did the process right... be straight forward with them: I thought we had a great meeting, you seemed very pleased, and now I am getting no response.ย  Did I do something wrong?

I continue to call, and call, and call, and call. I'll call and follow up until they tell me not to.

Typically something has come up that's taken most of their attention and just need you to continue to follow up.

What's the worst that can happen? They can yell at you. But that shouldn't bother you.

An strategic cadence that continues to add value.ย

Wouldn't that be a repeat of what we've already covered in the demo? Can you help me understand the 'strategic' part?ย
