I already said it a couple of days ago. There is a secret formula to get consulting clients. It boils down to empathizing in order to gain their trust. Not by manipulating but by being sincere. The other day I closed a client for the creation of an Amazon market study by telling him beforehand that I would not be able to provide value as a consultant for his business. At least not in the time frame and in the way that he expected. He did not expect it because it is not common.
Not everything happens automatically
Sometimes you have to do more to close clients. Many times you have the feeling that you fit in, that they like what you propose but that they simply do not pay attention to you when you write to them.
This happens to everyone. Obviously accurate mobile phone number list it happens to me too. There are two groups of reasons for this. I will tell you some:
Other priorities (this obviously covers a lot).
They forget to answer you (again and again and without bad intentions).
In both cases you can choose the following reaction.
You have reason to be angry
I am also in favour of one more thing when people live together. Respecting each other. Responding and saying “no, thank you” is part of that. Not responding is the opposite, as long as there was previous contact and it is not a cold many businesses are starting contact that did not come out of nowhere and came without being requested.
You also have this option: try to understand what is happening.
Other issues have come up. The children are doing badly at school, the mother has had to go to the hospital for a few days, a co-worker has malaysia data talked behind the back telling lies, private relationship problems, etc.
All this and more can be summed up under “other priorities”.
Therefore my rule is this
Follow up by email leaving a reasonable margin of 3-4 days or 1-2 weeks between each email (depending a lot on the context).
If after two or three failed attempts to contact by email there was no reaction, then go on to pick up the phone and contact in a more intrusive way.
