What to Do When a Prospective Client Doesn't Respond to Your Proposal

It's great to get some solid advice on this issue. I've dealt with many clients who are this way and always wondered why they are not responding. I think your idea of just being too busy is spot on and I appreciate some good action steps to take to keep the process going forward. Thanks!

I think you are correct as well. Also expecting objections and knowing how to handle them ahead of time really helps. We proactice this as real estate agents. Great article.

Handling objections is probably the most exciting part of sales. This gives you the opportunity to present your case again and convince the prospect within 30 secs that your product is the best out there. They are listing to their radio station WIIIFM.

Thats really good tips to get new clients.Thanks

I have always felt a bit pushy when following up the second or third time after I don't hear from a potential client. When my emails go ignored for a few days I feel I should just leave the whole project to someone else to deal with, but that just means I leave money on the table for somebody else.

Hi, thanks for your advice. I generally don't like having to remind my clients of my services. But you are right, not following up on client proposals is too high a price to pay.

AUTO DRIP: i love it. i'm a long-time fan of the random "great charity concert this weekend" or marketing tidbit to get things moving. sometimes people really do just forget, and it's usually pretty effective. great article!

Until a client tells me not to call or take them off my email distribution list I feel I have a fighting chance.

Really good advice there.

Its a fine balance between being pushy and being a good salesperson. I always find that following up on a potential client can help close deals, and if it doesnt then at least you are remembered

I also agree to your opinion!!!

Nice article, and also a really nice blog, carry on your great work!

Thanks a lot nice written article!

I usually follow up with a phone call, it's always better to establish a personal contact.

Great advice, clients don't always act according to plan so it's important to remind them you're still alive. A lot of businesses are so quiet these days you wonder if they even have customer service.

Money is money and it's better in my pocket, it's business and we can't be playing like a charity.

Very interesting writeup thank you.

Amazing stuff.. Thanks a ton for sharing this.!

I think people feel disturb because of the many proposals that they get everyday. Only if a prospect is really interested in the product you offer he will answer. My opinion.

If it could be true :)

I guess you mean business that offer services, don´t you?

Thanks a lot nice written article!

Why not?

Great stuff.. Just what I was on the lookout for!

Its always amazing how many people who are trying to sell homes, even in this market simply don't return phone calls at all. I usually make a couple of attempts and then move on to the next one. Good approach!

Good answers. keep it going.

Fantastic Article good to read.

Thanks for your great tips, from my experience when somebody did not answer your reply, it doesn't mean they don like it, it just they need sometimes to think about it, put a deadline would be the best idea for me.

Amazing tips there buddy.. Thanks a lot for sharing this out. Much appreciated!

These are some great tips.

"So where is that line between pestiness and persistence?"

That is the suxty four thousand dollar question is it not? To answer that you have to be able to read people pretty decently. Once you are able to get a feel for people like that you are as good as gold. You should be able to close deals at much higher ratios.

Well, probably I like the short question in the form of email:"give me a yes or no", but not all people feel the same...Some are more seeking and some less..

Great stuff.. Just what I was looking for.!

I think this is very simple, bill enough upfront to pay for your cost prior to the project starting. london escorts

Thanks a lot nice written article!

If you've made a proposal and you can't get a response, you have to be persistent; however, there comes a time that you need to decide is this a company that you want to enter into a relationship with? If they do not have the common courtesy to respond to your proposal, what would they be like later?

Thanks for such a nice articles!

Great work. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

There is always a diplomatic way to get to "yes". it is just a matter of finding the route that is suited for that client. And finding it before the client gets frustrated. i have learnd to have a lot of jobs in the pipe line. That way you can just walk away. Cheap Baseball Bats

It's unfortunate, but some people just don't have the common courtesy to return a call!

Maybe because the firt phonecall wasn´t positiv enough to convice him/her!

You can not just leave the client, e-mailing with a good subject (refrasing it) might interest him more. If you send 10 reminders, eventually he would respond in either negative or positive attitude..

We do not call propective customers but only warm contacts who set an inquiry.

It is always helpful to have a plan B, so the client does't have the impression that you are limited in ideas.

I usually make a couple of attempts and then move on to the next one.

So what do you do about it? Do you leave the ball in their court and just sit around waiting for them to hit it back? Of course not.

And remember this: When they're ready to go ahead with your proposal, they will be grateful that you didn't give up. In fact, the next time you call, they just might say, "I'm so glad to hear from you. I've been meaning to call."

This is a common problem in real estate. Sometimes clients need a push and others have simply moved on. I do not think it's too much to ask for a simple response. If they do not want my services just say so, I'm a big girl and can take it. For myself nothing is more frustrating than not knowing what happened. In the end never solicit them to a point where it would be awkward if you crossed paths. Sometimes you just have to let go...

it's always better to establish a personal contact.

Sometimes you can try everything you want it won´t work, because you couldn´t convince the customer by the first time! The first impression always counts!
