They said "this is exactly what we need"… then never replied. What did you change?

Be honest.

Someone loved the demo.
Said it was perfect.
Then disappeared.

What do you do next?

A) One polite follow-up, then move on
B) 3–5 follow-ups over two weeks
C) Ask what blocked them (direct + soft)
D) Offer a free trial / discount / pilot
E) Assume price or timing — stop chasing

Second check — what usually killed those "yes" moments?

  1. No budget / wrong timing
  2. Needed buy-in from someone else
  3. Your follow-up felt needy
  4. Competitor won quietly
  5. Still don't know (and it bothers you)
