17If you’re not interested, please let me

Dear John Smith,

I constantly review business relationships in my CRM. Typically if I don’t hear back

from someone for 30 days, it means they're either really busy or just not interested.

If you’re not interested, please let me know and I’ll promptly close your tab in our
CRM to never bother you with sales emails again.

1 – “Sorry, I was really swamped but I’m still interested…”

0 – “Please close my tab, I’m not interested…"

Please hit me back with a number, thanks!

Best regards,
Lily Lee

Dear John Smith,

I've tried to get in touch with you a few times over the last several months and have

If you’re still interested, what do you recommend as a next step?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Lily Lee

23I won’t contact you again

Dear John Smith,

I’ve tried to get in contact with you several times over the last few months without
success, which leaves me thinking that:

1.You’re not interested. That’s OK, I won’t take it personally.

2.The timing is wrong. This happens. I’ll happily get back to you in a few weeks or
months, although years might be a stretch too far.

3.You’ve been abducted by aliens: Please let them know that I am happy to come
along and tell them where to find me.

I won’t contact you again but you can keep my info on file if you ever need [product].

Best regards,
Lily Lee
