Why prospects are ghosting your follow-ups

Hey,

Got this sequence last week:

Email 1: "Following up on my proposal" Email 2: "Just checking in"
Email 3: "Did you get my last email?" Email 4: "Bumping this to the top of your inbox" Email 5: "Last attempt to connect"

All within 8 days.

From the same agency.

The Mistake:

Following up with the same boring corporate bullshit everyone else sends.

Why Prospects Ghost You:

They've seen these exact emails 47 times "Just checking in" makes you sound like a robot You're blending in with every other desperate agency There's no reason to respond

The Fix:

Try some pattern interrupts:

"Is everything OK?"

Or my personal favorite: "Is it my breath?"

Works every time because nobody expects honesty + humor.

They're expecting corporate follow-up templates.

You give them something human instead.

Takes one minute to write.

Gets you an actual response.

Not another ghosting.

Talk soon, Laura
