A revival cadence for a deal that's gone completely dark — pattern interrupt, fresh value, honest ask, and a breakup email, spaced over two and a half weeks.

Wrong assumption?
Hi [First Name],
When a conversation stops mid-stream, it's usually because I've assumed something wrong — about the priority, the price, or the person deciding.
Which was it? Genuinely useful for me to know, and no offense taken by any answer.
Best, [Your Name]

Since we last spoke
Hi [First Name],
No ask here — just one update relevant to [problem they had]: [new development — a result, a feature, a market change, 2-3 sentences].
Mentioning it because it changes the math we discussed: [one-line implication].
Best, [Your Name]

One honest question
Hi [First Name],
I'll keep this to one question: is [problem] still something you intend to fix this [quarter/year]?
"Yes, but not now" is a perfectly good answer — I'll come back at a better time. "No" is useful too — I'll stop taking up inbox space.
Either word works.
Best, [Your Name]

Closing the file
Hi [First Name],
Three notes without a reply is my cue. I'm closing the file on [topic] — you won't hear about it from me again unless you restart the conversation.
Everything we discussed is saved on my side. If the moment ever comes, one line brings it all back.
All the best with [their project], [Your Name]
