Follow-Up Frustration: What To Do When The Prospect Won't Respond

U-TurnLast week, I got a call from a salesperson I had in a recent workshop. He was telling me about a "hot" prospect he met with over a month ago who had suddenly turned cold. Here's the story:

He had a great first meeting with the prospect. His solution was well-received and the prospect even had the budget to pay for it. After the meeting, the prospect told him to follow up in a few days. Early the following week, he followed up and left a voice mail for the prospect. He called again the next day and left another message. And another. Then he tried sending an email or two, but still no response. Now a month has gone by and he has a better relationship with the prospect's voice mail system than he does with the prospect.

Every salesperson has had this happen countless times. You may have even learned to "beware of an easy prospect." But when a prospect stops responding to your follow-up efforts, what should you do? I recommend using an automated follow-up tool like BuzzBuilder Pro. Here are a few other suggestions:

Using E-Mail As A Prospecting Tool

This article is featured on SalesPractice.com 

Over the past several years, email has been one of the best prospecting tools I’ve used. However, the problem with the e-mails that most salespeople send is that they all tend to resemble SPAM. Do away with generic sales messages and never e-mail a brochure or marketing piece to a cold prospect.

Double Your Productivity: The Story Of The 4-Minute Mile
sales productivity I stumbled across an article recently that talked about the history of the 4-minute mile--that is, the ability to run a one-mile race in under 4 minutes. For years, the 4-minute mile was considered not merely unreachable but, according to physiologists of the time, dangerous to the health of any athlete who attempted to reach it.

Then, in 1954, an underdog named Roger Bannister achieved the "impossible" when he logged 3 minutes 59.4 seconds. And suddenly, the world of professional running changed forever.  The perception of the unreachable 4-minute mark had vanished. By the end of 1957, 16 runners had surpassed the 4-minute mile. So what can we learn from this?
