It\u2019s the worst!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you had a few calls, a face-to-face meeting, wrote out a detailed proposal or even got a tacit commitment to a sale. Even if you didn\u2019t, it still hurts, and follow-up outreach can be a real chore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guess what? We have you covered with a 10-word email that\u2019s sure to get a response and possibly get that lead back in your sales funnel!<\/p>\n\n\n<section id=\"content-block_611ed0d0bac0e\" class=\"section\" style=\"\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n      <div class=\"col-xl-8 col-lg-10\">\n        <div class=\"spacer--top-sm\"><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-reaction-blocks-title custom-headline my-4\"><h2 class=\"my-0\"><strong>Cutting Through the Noise<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, there are plenty of reasons your lead might have gone cold. People get busy. Maybe they got moved to a new project at work. It\u2019s even possible that a giant sinkhole opened up under their apartment and swallowed them whole.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, we can\u2019t help you with the big sinkhole thing, but your goal otherwise should be to get your lead\u2019s attention back. Ultimately, it\u2019s possible that your follow-up emails simply aren\u2019t catching their eye, and in a modern world packed with distractions, that is important!<\/p>\n\n\n<section id=\"content-block_611ed0edbac0f\" class=\"section\" style=\"\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n      <div class=\"col-xl-8 col-lg-10\">\n        <div class=\"spacer--top-sm\"><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-reaction-blocks-title custom-headline my-4\"><h2 class=\"my-0\"><strong>Avoid Cookie-Cutter Email Outreach<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about how many emails you ignore in a day: all the spam, group emails, meeting invitations and everything in between. We have a lot of input competing for our limited attention spans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, try to put yourself in your outreach target\u2019s shoes.
