Prospect: "I’m not interested at this time."
You: "I completely understand, [Prospect’s Name]. Now may not be the right time."
"If it’s alright with you, I can follow up in a couple of months to see if your needs have changed."
"In the meantime, would it be helpful if I send over some information via email? That way, you can review it whenever you have time, and it’ll be there when you’re ready."
Offer to send relevant information over email for them to review at their convenience, while proposing a follow-up in the future to stay in touch without being pushy.
Example:
"I’d be happy to send over a quick overview via email, and we can reconnect in a couple of months to see if it’s more relevant for you. Would that work?"
Respect Their Timing: Acknowledge that now may not be the right time, showing that you’re respectful of their current situation without pushing too hard.
Leave the Door Open: Offer to follow up in the future when their needs may have changed, keeping the conversation open for later engagement.
Provide Useful Information: Suggest sending an email with more details for them to review at their convenience, offering value without pressuring them for immediate action.
Stay Helpful: Position yourself as a helpful resource, so when they are ready to engage, they already have the necessary information to move forward with you.
