The best follow-through one could give to a prospect interested but delaying decisions is to give them a call and leave a friendly, personalized message of thanks for their interest. Ask if there was anything in particular that scared them off or any question from which they derived their delay, then be ready to directly address those concerns. Add value by mentioning relevant case studies, testimonials, or insights that will strengthen why this product or service will benefit them. You need to create urgency by mentioning time-limited offers or limited availability that could affect their decision to be quicker.
