What are your favourite ways to avoid the F-Word?

Here's my thinking:

Hope you're well. Just had time to get back to you. I know last time we talked we spoke about x. If this is still a priority for you to take a look at, when is the next time you have 15 mins?

Thoughts and feedback?

I was going at the face value of the subject line and then instantly was crushed when I saw there was an actual scenario and you meant "Follow-up" instead of FUCK.

Anyway, now that I'm disappointed in you. I would still agree with PBC, too much dancing in your text and I had to start over like 4 times to figure out wtf you wanted.

Talk like a hooman.

I was super excited to discuss how to tell the customer to fuck off without saying it. #dissapointed

This dude seems like a hardo.

If I’m the prospect, and I’m already not following through on the processing statements, I’m going to keep ignoring you.

Be direct. Tell them what they will get if they give you what you want. Point to average savings and point out what they are missing out on.

Speak to logic, and stop dancing. Go for the kill.

Honestly I've never had a person not respond b/c I used the words follow up.

Instead of just saying following up I am a big fan of saying "Saw an interview of the CXO mentioning x initiative" "Heard in the earning call" "Just spoke with "Competitor" and reminded me of"

There is not silver bullet to be ghosted though

I admittedly like Jeremy's cold call tactics more than most influencers out there. Change of voice inflection and not sounding like every other dibble shit sales person.

Agree with PBC, just cut through the shit. Low barrier, all I need is this. We can likely save X. Mildly interested to take 30 seconds to send over?

"If you'll just allow me access to your GoogleAds account, I can run the audits I promised and maybe determine if there's anything I can do for you. Still waiting for that password. Gonna send it?"

Would you even reply? Nah

Ugh... here is what I hear in that: "I have no more value to bring to you, I just had nothing else to do right now so I thought I would send you and email to see if there is any chance I might earn commission off of you any time soon because I do not even know if this is important to you..."
