What do you say when a ripe project dies because "we have other priorities"

Things are perfect until they are not. Curious to hear how some people react to this objection way later in the process and how do you get the train back on track?

you can't really create motivation only align it with customer's problems.

Agreed, at that point focus on the cost of inaction

Ask them what their priorities are in a kind gentle way

Yeah I agree with this so you can understand the entire picture. Once you hear it you may find an opening to tie in your product. Worth a shot 🤷‍♀️

I wish them well and tell them I'm here if anything changes in the future. Sucks when they have other priorities, but better to not burn the bridge should they ever need your services/product in the future.

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract

I just straight up ask what changed. This oftentimes isn't the actual objection but just a cover story. You might need to do some digging.
