I see this every week.
Businesses pushing ads
Getting messages
Even getting interest
And then…
Silence.
Not from the lead
From the business
* No clear next step
* No structure after the first reply
* No system holding the conversation
Everything depends on “when I get a chance”
So the lead moves on
Not because they weren’t interested
Because no one carried them forward
Most people won’t notice this
They’ll just say “the leads are bad”
But watch closely
It’s rarely the lead that breaks the deal
It’s the gap after the first message
