1 hack to get more prospect responses

Nothing worse than getting ghosted from your prospect. Feels like we’re just spinning wheel sometimes…sending emails, leaving voicemails…etc.

This isn’t any fun!

Here’s an approach continues to deliver:

Use voicemail and email correctly.

What?

Yes – the two main tools we use with our prospects are the phone and email.

But, we mostly, get

  • Voicemail

So, then we send an:

  • Email

This cycle is endless.

Let’s leverage these two tools for a customer response instead of chasing the wind.

Instead of voicemail after voicemail and email after email…

Leverage these two principles:

  1. The goal of voicemail is to get a response to your email
  2. The goal of email is to get the prospect on the phone

In other words, don’t leave a voicemail to have them call you back. Leave a voicemail to have them respond to your email. Might sound like this…

“Hi Ted – hope things are good are your end. Hey if you could check your email and respond, I’d appreciate it.” Thx – talk soon, Ted.”

Now – what’s in the email?

A free-choice invite to chat, e.g., “Hey Ted, had an idea that might solve for [x]. Worth a chat, or should I get out of your hair?”

Give it a go…
