🚨 Ghosted Leads Costing You Deals? Here’s How Top 1% Sellers Fix It

When leads go cold, it’s easy to panic—but with proven frameworks like those in our Revive Ghosted Leads guide, you can turn silence into signed deals without sounding desperate.

Here’s how to restart stalled pipelines and close more sales, leveraging strategies trusted by top performers at $230K+ remote sales roles.

3 Tactics to Restart Stalled Deals

1. Stop “Checking In” – Start Solving Problems

Don’t: Send vague emails like “Just checking in!”

Do: Ask: “Still stuck on [specific pain point]?”

• Example: If they struggled with slow software, use our Sales Leadership Systems approach to target unresolved pain points: “Still losing 3 hours/day to slow workflows?”

• Why it works: Targets their unresolved issue, positioning you as a problem-solver, not a pest.

2. Trigger Competitor FOMO

Don’t: Badmouth competitors.

Do:

Employ battle-tested questions from our Enterprise AI Sales Strategies guide: “Did [Competitor] fix [Problem] for you yet?”

• If they say no: “Want to brainstorm a fix?”

• If they say yes: “Did it actually solve [specific issue]?”

• Why it works: Makes them question if settling was worth it.

3. Time It Right – Post-Lunch = Peak Replies

Pair timing insights with Low-Stress Sales Job tactics for 2x reply rates:

Don’t: Email at 9 AM (buried in inbox chaos).

Do: Send follow-ups 1:30–3:00 PM local time.

• Pair with casual language: “Got 5 mins to chat [goal]?”

• Why it works: Decision-makers are more reflective post-lunch.

“Switching to 1:30 PM follow-ups doubled my reply rate. One CRO told me, ‘You’re the only vendor who gets how I work.’”

Quick Fix to Re-Engage TODAY

→ Action Step: Send a 15-second Loom video showing their pricing page vs. your cost-saving solution—a method refined through our Essential Sales Skills Framework.

Example: “Saw you’re paying $X/month for [Tool]. Our solution saves $Y/year – want to see how?”

“After sending a 15-second Loom video comparing costs, I revived a $75K deal that had been dead for 6 months. The prospect replied: ‘Why didn’t you show me this sooner?’”
