Following Up with Prospects that Disappear
How do you Follow Up with friends, prospects, that have ghosted you and are avoiding you?
You know…
Maybe you’ve called them or messaged them, but they don’t reply back to you at all!
It’s like they’re hiding but you go on Facebook and you know they exist, they are right there…
But nope, they’re not replying back to your messages.
And maybe you’re hesitant to Follow Up because you fear:
-Coming off as pushy or desperate
-Losing the relationship
The Witness-Protection Follow Up
Remember…
One of the important thing as a networker is you want to collect friends, you don’t want to lose friends.
Witness Protection Followup
The reason why they’re ghosting you is because either
a) They’re not interested and feel bad for saying “No”
b) They don’t have the time to look at what you’ve sent them
In other words, right now the timing is NOT right for the prospect
Fortunately, that doesn’t mean they’ll never be interested.
The key is to maintain the relationship because this will set you up for future followups when the timing is right for them.
These are the 4 parts to the Witness Protection Follow Up
This is what you say:
1) Our relationship means more than anything in the world, I don’t want the business to get in the way.
2) It’s ok if you don’t join my business nor buy my products.
3) I promise to not to bring it up again.
4) Can we still be friends and stay in touch?
In this video below, I break it down why this important and how it works
Ok, now that you know how to Follow Up with prospects that disappear on you.
Remember…
Like anything in the world, people will not always buy on the first exposure – 80% of sales are done in the fifth+ exposure or Follow Up!
