Shout out-break up email

Wanted to give a shout out to @SalesBeast for sharing the break up template about prospects giving up. 
Fired that out today to a bunch of stale opportunities and was actually able to get one on the phone and close them. 
For anyone that didn't see it, the basis was that people don't like giving up. 
"Looks like you are too busy to to pursuit this or possibly gave up, can you let me know?"
Subject line I used was "giving up"
Thanks again brother.

I will give this a shot! My last ditch breakup email that always gets a response is: Subject - Did we do something wrong?
Body - Hi NAME, It seems our coversations were going well but i hadnt heard from you in x. I find my self sitting at my desk thinking back if I did something wrong. I cant seem to put a finger on what it might have been. Please let me know if thats the case and I apologize in advance.

That's so funny, I got an email like that today!  Believe it or not it was the kick in the ass I needed to respond back to them!  I felt bad for pushing it to the side for long that it really needed a response!  I'm meeting with the person next week to continue talking about their service.  I'm also going to adopt it as part of what we do!

It was on a thread of another one. Basically just call out the person; ‘did you give up?’ And you get like 50% reply rates. It works well.
