Prospects may choose to ignore you for various reasons, and understanding these factors is crucial for improving communication and engagement:
- Irrelevance of Message: If your message doesn't resonate with the prospect or address their specific needs and pain points, they may ignore it. Prospects are more likely to engage with content that is relevant and valuable to them.
- Poor Timing: Timing is crucial in sales and marketing. If you reach out at an inconvenient time or during a period when the prospect is not actively seeking your product or service, your message may be overlooked.
- Lack of Personalization: Generic and impersonal messages are often ignored. Prospects appreciate personalized communication that demonstrates a clear understanding of their business and challenges. A lack of personalization can make your outreach seem generic and less compelling.
- Overcommunication or Spammy Behavior: Prospects may ignore you if they feel inundated with too many messages or if your communication appears spammy. It's essential to strike a balance between staying on their radar and respecting their space.
- Unestablished Credibility: If you haven't established credibility or trust with the prospect, they may be hesitant to engage with your messages. Building a reputation for reliability, expertise, and integrity is crucial in gaining the trust of potential customers.
- Unclear Value Proposition: If your value proposition is unclear or doesn't clearly articulate the benefits of your product or service, prospects may overlook your messages. A compelling value proposition should communicate how you can solve their problems or fulfill their needs.
- Failure to Listen and Respond: Ignoring prospects' feedback or failing to listen to their concerns can result in them disengaging. If your communication is one-sided and doesn't acknowledge the prospect's perspective, they may choose to ignore further outreach.

10moTotally get it! Making sure our messages matter to folks is key. Timing matters too - catching them when they're interested is a win. And personal touches? So important. Nobody likes generic stuff. Also, not bombarding them – finding the right balance is the trick. Building trust is a process, showing we're reliable and know our stuff. And let's not forget, making our point crystal clear. Appreciate the reminder to keep things real and meaningful!

10moThe true hardships of sales…potential clients ghosting, deleting communication attempts and just plane rudeness. The overwhelming amount of NO from clients you know will benefit from your services can be very demoralizing and cause mental breakdowns from sales people. I have found that a softer approach and introduction allows for better communication from the start and opens up a glimpse of this “pyramid” sales journey analysis you shared. Attemps to build a relationship is often what it takes in selling re-occuring contractual services. Ifs never a case where you show up, pitch and close a deal right there. The rarity of being in the right spot where that 3% or less that are ready to buy at the exact moment you happen to show up is just not happening. Its a long term sales game in my business. 1-6 months of developments often before you ever share an estimate!
