You nailed the sales call.
The prospect nodded. Said all the right things.
Seemed ready.
And then?
Nothing.
No reply.
Just… silence.
Monica’s Rule: No Panic — Just Process 📅🧠
“If someone ghosts, it’s not always a no. It’s often a signal you didn’t give them the right reason to reply.”
Monica doesn’t chase.
She follows up with clarity, value, and structure.
Timing = Everything 🕒
Here’s Monica’s 5-message follow-up flow:
1. Day 1 – Recap + Anchor
“Hey [Name], great speaking earlier. Here’s a quick recap of what we covered + a key takeaway I thought might help. Let me know how you’re processing things.”
2. Day 3 – Add Value
“Thought this case study might resonate — similar to what you shared. Curious if any of it hits home?”
3. Day 6 – Ask a Simple Question
“Would love to hear — is this still on your radar, or should I close the file for now?”
This one gets replies.
4. Day 10 – Pattern Interrupt
“Totally understand if now’s not the time. Just wanted to respect your inbox and check if you’d like me to hold a spot for you this month.”
5. Day 14 – The Goodbye
“Going to assume priorities shifted. If you ever want to revisit, I’ll be here. Appreciate the convo either way!”
Why This Works 💡
-
It’s respectful but consistent
-
It brings value, not pressure
-
It ends with a clean opt-out (which often triggers a response)
Monica’s Final Word:
“Silence doesn’t mean stop. It means adjust.”
You don’t get ghosted when you stay human and helpful.
