Context is king: are you asking because you are not sure what you should be doing, or because you want to know how others in this forum handle prospecting?

"moving-on", whats that?  

We don't move on. 

We call and then we don't hang up until the prospect buys, or f*cking dies 😤

Is this a cold lead, an inbound lead, a referral? Need more details....

Also sometimes there are those grail accounts that you're just going to keep chasing in one way, shape, or form.

Good point to make here, I am responding in terms of MY cadence in MY role, which of course differs from many.
