Dealing with ghosting AMs: 2 options

Got two choices here. First, keep pushing, sending follow-ups, maybe drop a friendly message every few days. Some AMs are just busy or ignore but if you're persistent enough they might bite back. Second, cut bait and move on to a new network or AM. Sometimes it's just dead weight. If I were you I'd try the first for a bit but if no response after a week or two, screw it. No point wasting time on ghosts. YMMV but patience isn't always the best route with these flaky AMs. Need a quick answer cause this is holding me back.
 
been doing this 3 years, and honestly i'd say after 2-3 follow-ups, if no reply, move on. from my experience, 70% of the time they just ignore, so why waste 2 weeks? patience can be a trap with flaky AMs
 
Sometimes I think that waiting 2 weeks is still too long, no? Like, maybe a quick follow-up after a few days and then move on if no reply.

Yup exactly, I learned that the hard way. I used to wait like 2 weeks, but then realized most of the time they're just ghosting or too busy to reply. Now I hit a follow-up after a couple days, then bounce if no luck. No point in wasting forever on flaky ones.
 
If you're really trying to get somewhere, maybe try a different approach instead of just follow-ups. Like, maybe switch up your messaging style or offer a quick call instead of emails. Sometimes a fresh angle gets their attention faster than just pinging again and again. If they still ghost, then yeah, cut bait and move on, no point chasing shadows.
 
Careful with rushing to cut bait too early tho. Sometimes they're just swamped, not ghosting forever. Have you tried a quick call or a different angle instead of just follow-ups? Maybe shaking things up can help avoid dead ends.
 
ever try using Calendly or similar schedulers? I had a client who was ghosting and I sent a quick link to set up a call. They booked instantly, kinda surprised me honestly.
 
Careful with assuming they're ghosts forever tho, sometimes a quick nudge with a calendar link or a different message style can get a reply. Have you tried switching up your approach a bit?
 
haha yeah, sometimes you gotta face that reality. But tbh, if I'm gonna spend weeks chasing dead weight, might as well try a different network. I've seen some AMs just take a break and come back later, so keep a bit of hope alive but don't go full stalker. Usually, if no reply after 2-3 attempts, they're probably gone for good.
 
Thanks for chiming in everyone. I get what you're saying about not waiting too long, a few days and then move on seems smart, especially if the AM is ghosting. YMMV but honestly, I think after a week or two if no luck, better to cut bait and focus on someone else. No point hanging around waiting for dead fish.
 
ever tried sending a quick, no-pressure follow-up with a simple question like "Just checking in, still interested?" Sometimes AMs just need a nudge to remind them you're there. Keeps you top of mind w/o sounding pushy.
 
last month i had a similar thing happen, so i tried sending a quick voice note instead of text. just a casual "hey, wanted to check in" kinda vibe. worked better than a text cause it felt more personal and less salesy. maybe try that?
 
different angle: sometimes ghosting isn't about your follow-up, it's about the AM being overwhelmed or distracted. in those cases, sending a quick update on your progress or asking if there's a better time to connect can help. i've seen around 15-20% of ghosted AMs respond when you show understanding and respect their space. so don't be afraid to pause and re-engage later with a fresh approach
 
Haha, ghosting is like that one friend who ghosts but then pops up when you forget they exist. imho, try a super chill meme or funny gif in your follow-up, it's surprising how much that breaks the ice and gets a response
 
different angle: maybe the AM is just busy or forgets, not ghosting on purpose. sometimes a quick, friendly check-in like "hey just wanted to see if you got my last message" helps, no pressure. who knows, they might just be caught up. keep it chill, bro. peace!
 
yo haha yeah, classic friend move, right? they reappear when you stop chasing, so maybe we should start ghosting them first lol
 
been doing this 3 years and honestly, "2 options" sounds kinda lazy. there's always more than 2 ways, and sometimes you gotta play hardball or just move on. never stick to just 2 options in this game.
 
most times they ghost cause they see no value or get busy, so instead of just waiting or chasing, send a quick value email like "hey just FYI, I got some new stuff that might help" if they ignore that, then move on. no point wasting time chasing ghosts.
 
tbh dealing with ghosting AMs: 2 options? Spot on, but honestly I think automation tools like HubSpot or Mailshake can help keep your follow-ups consistent without turning into a hassle. Sometimes a well-timed sequence is all you need to stay on their radar
