Follow-Up When They Go Silent After Pricing

For the prospect who was engaged right up until the price came out. Names the pattern without awkwardness and splits the possibilities so a reply only takes one word.

Was it the number?

Hi [First Name],

The conversation was moving right up until I sent pricing, and then it went quiet — which usually means one of three things:

  1. The number's off — too high for the budget you have.
  2. The timing moved — something else took the quarter.
  3. It's sitting with someone else — and I should make that person's read easier.

Reply with just the number (1, 2, or 3) and I'll respond usefully. If it's none of the above, "4" works too.

Best, [Your Name]

Post-pricing silence has a cadence fix. FollowClose schedules the follow-ups and works the budget conversation from your call into each one.
