Section II: So you got ghosted, what do you do?
Channels
- Communications: Call, LinkedIn, send something
- Targets: Call other prospects in the deal. Call the front line
- Change the voice: Use an exec-to-exec touch
Messaging - Key is pitch-light / pushing away
- Did I mess something up?
- Did I lose you?
- If going above their head
When to give it up?
- No bilateral communication within 30 days — it’s done
- From there… Charly’s value add / warming drip 1x / month
