They went quiet. They are not gone.
The scenario:
A prospect goes dark after a good call. Most reps assume it is a no and move on.
Often it is not a no, it is a not right now buried under their own workload. The right follow-up, sent without desperation, reopens more of these than you would think. Silence is not rejection.
The prompt:
You are writing 3 follow-up messages to re-engage a prospect who went quiet after a promising sales conversation.

Space them across 3 weeks. Keep them brief and human, never needy.
