Did I F*** up?
I run lead gen agency (don't worry, this is not an ad)
I have a prospect I met with a couple weeks ago.
The intro meeting went very well, he even responded to my follow-up with "Looking forward to working with you!"
About a week goes by and I don't hear back so I followed up. Turns out they were having domain issues so they did not see any emails I had sent them. But he texted me after I left him a voicemail.
I got put on a text chain with him and his partner saying they needed a week to figure out things and then they wanted to move forward.
So today I thought to follow-up with them with a Linkedin post I scrolled by that was relevant to our convo and the services they provide just to get their thoughts and naturally transition into a booking our onboarding call.
My main contact texts me on the side saying the post does not represent their services-even tho it did- and that they offer many more services.
I replied that understand their services and offers and that I just was sending them a post that was relevant to our intro conversation.
I have not heard anything back and think that may have killed the deal.
So two questions I have:
-
Should I have just texted them what time works for them next week to meet?
-
Did I f*** this up?
(Side note- me and the main contact were having very friendly text convos before this and I was thrown off by how hostile his follow-up to the shared post)
