What's the best email "subject" for getting a response after being ghosted?
I have some luck with "Quick Question" but interested to hear what others are using.

Quick Question
10
"Got your voicemail." And it's referencing that 'you' tried them and got their voicemail and left a message. Used best as a 'one off' after a call blitz (for net new or re-engagement). It has a high open and reply rate bc they think you are responding to a voicemail 'they' left.
I like it!
I've seen "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" with some people reporting success with it.
I like it, but that just sets off the ear worm lol
haha yep
Use this, love this. Works!!!
Meeting. I'm not kidding. It works 🤷♀️
Worth a try
Will try haha
"todays chat" And use the body to get a quick yes or no. I also blame the fact that we haven't connected on me instead of them
Nice angle
May you elaborate on how you communicate this?
Assuming you mean blaming it on myself?
I typically say: sorry “name” things have been hectic so I wasn’t able to get in touch with you. If you’re still open to discussing ABC my calendar is open next week.
i’ve heard it best explained as when you keep missing calls from your grandma. you love your grandma but sometimes you don’t wanna have that conversation because you’re busy. The more calls you miss the more you feel guilty and the more you avoid it. if grandma texted you that she’s sorry she hasn’t reached out it shifts the blame to her and off of your guilt so you’re more likely to apologize back and call her. Does that help 😂

I never tried blaming myself for the lack of communication but hey there is always a 1st! haha I will try it with like 10 prospects and share my feedback asap! Yes man anything helps me here, I'm not American so I really don't know what is acceptable or custom on the business engagement with Americans (whom I'm now honored to have been bestowed the aggressive targets).
Welcome SalesPharoh! I look forward to hearing more from your perspective. I think we can all learn things when we view something from a different perspective.
The way I do it is different.
I go like this:
Dear X
I've tried multiple times contacting you but I have not received a reply nor an expression of interest from your side for sometime. I believe that usimg our services is not a priority for you anymore so I would consider it a personal favor if you get back to me so i can stop filling up your email.
That's the template I got from @GeneralCorp on his IG worked well with me on this thread to mix it up for when it wouldn't work.

“Still interested?”
I use "Thoughts?"
Last call works for me on occasion
“Final Notice”.
do you sell extended warranties?
Lol no
"Have you seen my bird?"
“This you?”
and in the body of the email I photoshop their photo onto the ghost emoji 👻

This still a priority?
