When the quote goes quiet
The quote is sent. The customer goes quiet. What now?
You do not always know whether they are still interested, comparing options, concerned about price, or simply busy. The wrong follow-up can feel pushy. No follow-up at all can leave a genuine opportunity sitting there.
01
No response
They received the quote but have not replied.
02
Still deciding
They seem interested but have not given you a clear answer.
03
Price may be the issue
The quote may be outside what they expected, but they have not said so directly.
04
They need more time
They are comparing options, waiting on someone else, or not ready to decide yet.
Inside the guide
Seven messages for seven common situations.
Each message tells you when to use it, gives you wording you can copy and adjust, and explains what the follow-up is trying to achieve.
