What's your go to last ditch effort email for someone who hasn't responded yet?

Love break up emails... but more so for someone who hasn't responded once. Can see their opening my emails, multiple times. Does anyone have a hail mary email for their last try?

I thought we had something, but it looks like you're ghosting me.

Can we take another shot?

Carrier pigeon.

I normally just send “hi name, want to make sure my emails made it through. Is this something you are working on this year?”

People normally at a minimum reply and say yes the got the emails.

I send that after 3-4 non-responses

I like that, what is the subject line for that? Carrier Pigeon? (Awesome is true)

No I meant an actual bird. That or smoke signals but it’s fire season now so gotta phase those out.

Subject line can be whatever you want, I don’t normally get fancy with mine I keep them simple.

Seems like I might have overstepped my bounds.

Originally thought it made sense to reach out about "XYZ" - I'm getting the feeling it's just not the best time.

Did I hit it on the head?

Email:

Hi Name, Did the initiative around X die?

This gets me a response almost every time. Either with an excuse to why they havent responded (Reprioritized projects, OOO, etc), a its not you its me response (went with competitor), or update as to where they are in the process (Havent responded because we are getting the right people involved, but we are almost there lets connect in 2 weeks).

Send this:

Dear prospect, I wrote you but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my email, and my work phone at the bottom
I sent two emails back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
There probably was a problem with the mail server or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble email addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em But anyways, whatever, what’s been up? How’s your data?... …Anyways, I hope you get this ma’am, hit me back
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan

I haven't heard back from you so I'm going to assume you've gone a different direction or your priorities have changed.

Let me know if our (Products we sell) can be of assistance in the future.

I'm pretty good about getting a response with a breakup email. I do a variation off the template below:

"Hi XXX,

I’ve tried to reach you a few times and haven't heard back.
Don't want to spam your inbox, so just let me know if this is not a good time and I'll be happy to make a note of that here.
If you are still interested in evaluating XXXX, just let me know, happy to schedule a call anytime.
Cheers!"

Email: Hey xxxxx, I’ve tried reaching out via email and voicemail over the last few weeks and haven’t heard back from you. I’m assuming you have no interest in an introduction from me. If my assumption is incorrect, let me know a good time for me to give you a call. Works almost every time. No one likes to be called out even if it’s true.

Subject: polite persistence Body: there’s a fine line between persistence and pestering which I don’t intend to cross, so this will be my last email to you. Who would you recommend I speak with about X?

“Hi Prospect, It’s been a while since we last spoke on (date). I’m assuming that leadership shot this down/this is no longer a priority/[whatever makes sense based on last agreed upon step]. If that’s the case, no hard feelings! Any insight is appreciated as I only want to stay helpful in my follow ups.

Oh it just occurred to me that you might have meant a cold email situation. I just ask if there is someone else I should meet with or if there’s a better time to reach out

being direct is great
different variations of the below seems to really work for me:

"
bumping this to the top.
15mins of your time will help discover synergies and what value we can add to your org.

Infact we have been adding significant value to X, Y & Z. I'd love to share notes on this.

Let me know if 10am works on Monday... "

--> suggesting time forces him to give an alternate slot
--> restating the brands you already work with makes him curious on what they are doing with ur firm

No hail mary email. If and when they come around and beg for you..your only response should be sending them a link to electronically sign the contract. With an increase in setup costs. When the customer violates. You demonstrate.

At that point I'd just call them, especially if they opened the same email multiple times
