When someone stops texting back, send a simple greeting followed by a specific question about something you discussed before. Treat conversation like a tennis rally, not a high-stakes serve. Each reply builds the relationship forward.

I'm getting ghosted. How can you get that conversation going again? Am I using text? Yes. I'd be like, hey, Neil. That's it. That'd be it. Just say, hey, Neil. Yeah. What are you going to say back? I might say, Phil. Right. We're in play. The goal is reply. If you want to play tennis with somebody, don't try to serve aces. They won't want to play. If you want a game of tennis with somebody, so they can knock it back. And then I'd be like, we spoke 30 days ago about you potentially possibly thinking about making a move. Is that still in play or have you made an alternative plan? Question mark. Oh yeah, it's still in play. Gotcha. Transactions and relationships are built in the back and forth. Every time they reply, credit, credit, credit. We're in play. And all conversion happens in conversation. Correct.
