I’ve had this happen to me all too often.
It’s my number one pet peeve that I wish everyone would stop doing right now. If they did, they might actually make some sales…
Sales person: Hi,👋 we have a lot in common and I’d love to connect.
Prospect: Looks interesting. 💭 We both do love the mountains and we are in the tech space. Connect.

Salesperson: Hey. I just met you and this is crazy, 😁 but here’s my sales pitch. Love to talk. Does morning or afternoon work best for you?
Prospect: No reply. 😒

Salesperson: Hey,👋 I’m sure you’re busy but I didn’t hear back from you yesterday. What do you think?

Salesperson: Hey, 📥 just pinging you in case this message got lost in the shuffle. Do you want to buy my service?
72 hours later.
Salesperson: Can you refer me to EVERYONE that you know including your 3rd grade teacher? 😁 I definitely won’t spam them and tell them that you gave me their contact info.

Salesperson: Let me speak to your manager. 😠
