Have you contacted another decision maker or player in the company? Normally I exhaust any and every lead possible first in the company before I close/lose the opportunity.

I'm not really asking for me. Just posing the question to the group! But great points for sure.

much like the dating world, don't waste time on those who aren't responding
make sure all next steps are calendar invites, if they fail to meet and don't offer a valid excuse, then it's off to the next opportunity

We all tend to cling too long onto hope that a ghost prospect will come back. I give them three tries and after that they go into automated touch points a few times/year until they ask to unsubscribe. Plenty of other contacts to chase in and out of that account.

Unless your company has some dumbahss rules against limits of leads/opps you can have you should hold onto everyone, on a consistent basis (even if consistent is 1/yr)

send a break-up and plan on a 3 mo check-in so you're not stressing, it's not fucking up your comitted pipeline, and you dont have the waste time anymore

What is the most unexpected or craziest way you've ever closed a deal (or scored a meeting at least?)
