#6. Sales Manager sends an email to his potential customer:
Hey Tim,
I haven’t heard from you back and that tells me one of three possible things:
1. You have already chosen a different company. If that’s the case please do let me know so that I stop bothering you.
2. You’re still interested but haven’t had the time to get back to me.
3. You had a fall and can’t get back, in which case I will call 911.
Please let me know which one of the three is am worrying about. Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Cheers,
