Tired of Leads Ghosting You? Try This Instead...
Not all leads are going to respond, no matter how clever your text is or how perfectly you deliver your phone script.
But hereโs the truth: plenty of leads WILL respond if you use the right strategy and follow-up approach.
Thereโs more meat on the bone. You just need to take a couple more bites.
The Problem With Your Follow-Ups
Most businesses send the same generic, snooze-worthy follow-ups that sound like they were written by a chatbot stuck in 2015.
Youโve probably seen (or sent) these:
โ "Just following up..."
โ "Are you still interested in..."
โ "Just circling back..."
These messages are more boring than watching paint dry. Plus, they make you sound like every other business fighting for attention.
The Fix? Add Some Personality.
One of the easiest ways to stand out is using humor. Why?
โ
It disrupts their normal behavior pattern.
โ
It makes you more human (people like doing business with humans).
โ
It increases response rates, because itโs unexpected and engaging.
Copy + Paste Text Templates You Can Steal:
Option #1: The Emoji Nudge
"๐๐๐๐
Hey [Name], I'm attaching some balloons to float this message back to the top of your inbox in case you missed it. Did you still want to try martial arts for [Childโs Name]?"
Option #2: The Meme Approach
(Attach a funny meme, bonus points if itโs about procrastination or ghosts.)
"Hope you donโt mind a little humor HAAA. Did you still want to try out martial arts classes?"
Why This Works:
These messages break the pattern of normal sales follow-ups. Instead of blending in with every other text, they make people laugh.
Try it out this week, and watch how people start responding!
As always, 3 min read, all strategy, no fluff.
