Feras Alhlou explains why leads stop responding. Most sales need 5 to 12 follow-ups, but salespeople disappear after the first no. Persistence, not vanishing, closes deals.

Another reason that's under our control and why leads go silent. We disappear after the first no or the first hesitation. My friend, if you look at many stats on HubSpot and other data sources, it takes anywhere from 5 to 7 to 8 to 12 follow-ups before a sale is completed. Now, I'm not saying you nag. I'm not saying you call the clients at 8 and you text them at 8 PM at night on a Friday night. No, it needs to be done with care, with professionalism, but you do not want to disappear after the first no, or if you send a proposal and you think this is the end of it.
