You just sent a proposal to a hot payroll prospect. And although this person had a strong interest in switching to a new payroll service, they ghosted you after receiving your proposal.  

6 Possible Reasons Why They Ghosted You.

After receiving your proposal, the prospect had to deal with a wide range of events/decision-making, etc. (see below), 

  1. They called their existing payroll service, and they agreed to match your pricing and/or service offering.
  2. They weren't the final decision maker and cannot give you the green light to move forward.
  3. They were expecting greater savings from you.
  4. They realized the payroll conversion process wasn't worth moving to a new payroll service.
  5. They had some internal/external issues come up, and moving to a new payroll service is no longer a high priority.
  6. After talking with you, they decided to search out other payroll services, like ADP or Paychex, which demonstrated better value.

Send This e-Mail To A Prospect Who Ghosted You (After My 2/3 Call Strategy).

After leaving a few voicemails, I highly recommend sending the e-mail below.

[First Name]:

I have called a few times in the past few (days/weeks) and have not heard back from you. And since I want to be professional in my follow-up efforts with you, it would help me a lot if you hit the reply key and type in the number that represents your situation; I will take it from there.

#1: Glad you are touching base. Please call me (today/this week/next week) to discuss the details of your proposal.

#2: Thanks anyway (your first name), but there isn't any interest in moving forward with your company. 

#3: The timing isn't right; check back with me in 2 to 3 months.

Again, if you would hit the reply key right now and type the number that best describes your situation, I would greatly appreciate it!

Name – Title
Company
Phone
e-Mail

P.S.  You will find attached a one-page list of client testimonials from businesses (who switched from ____ to us, similar in size to yours, etc.).
