A short YouTube clip (by Eric Deeran - Master Filmmaker, uploaded Feb 10, 2023) explaining why sales prospects often don't reply immediately: typically because they're busy rather than hostile. The speaker cites that many people stop after 2–3 messages despite the average reply coming after about six to seven touches, and advises being professionally persistent in follow-ups.

Why your prospects are probably ghosting you. It's not because they hate you, or they don't want to talk to you, or they're angry that you sent them a message in the first place. It's not usually any of that. It's just typically that they get busy and they haven't had time to respond. Oftentimes people give up after two or three messages, when the average is around six to seven before you actually get a reply. So don't give up right away and make sure that you're persistent and you're professionally persistent when you follow up with them.
