Ep 193: Five Follow-Up Scripts To Restart Stalled Sales Conversations [LIVE]

Send us Fan Mail Watch the video on YouTube. Your inbox is probably holding a handful of conversations that didn’t end. They just stopped. A great call, real interest, maybe even a proposal sent, and then… silence. That quiet can feel oddly personal, which is exactly why so many consultants avoid following up until it’s painfully awkward. We don’t do “just checking in” here. We walk through five specific, field-tested follow-up scripts designed to restart stalled sales conversations without sounding pushy, needy, or robotic. We break down when to use each approach based on what’s most likely happening on the other side: a proposal sitting in limbo, a pre-decision thread that evaporated, shifting priorities inside a company, hesitation rooted in trust, or a lead that’s been ghosting for months. You’ll hear how to remove pressure while still being direct, how to add value to re-enter a thread naturally, how to ask about timeline changes in a way that invites honesty, and how to use social proof to make outcomes feel real. Then we share the “direct closeout” message that gets you out of purgatory and into a clean yes or no. We also cover practical pipeline habits that make follow-up easier: keeping messages to three sentences or less, spacing your follow-ups with a simple cadence, using tools like Boomerang for Gmail so nothing slips, and writing subject lines you can actually search later. If you’re a B2B solo consultant or fractional executive building a reliable sales pipeline, these are the moves that turn old threads into new revenue.
