The short story
I asked three hundred sales reps at a one point five billion dollar company a simple question. Who has a deal that has gone quiet? Every hand went up. We opened laptops. We wrote three hundred emails in the room. We hit send. Two days later, the CEO called and said he had never seen anything like it. The team closed three point five million dollars.
Why it worked
Most quiet deals are not lost. The value is unclear, the next step is vague, and the buyer is protecting their time and reputation. When you restate the business outcome in plain language and offer a single, straightforward next step, decisions are made.

Email template
Hi {First Name},
When we last spoke, you were trying to {business outcome they want} and the blocker was {problem in their words}.
If we can help you achieve {specific outcome with a number or timeframe}, is it worth a yes or a no this week?
Two simple paths: A) 15 minutes to confirm value and decide the next step B) Close this out if priorities have changed
Either way, I will update our notes so we stop chasing and you get your time back.
Thanks, {Your Name}
