When you message someone and they DO NOT RESPOND after they showed interest, do not stress.. They are just busy with other things in their life and when its a priority, they will come back. Keep finding ways to follow up in a creative way without sounding desperate.
Here are 10 things you can do to follow up with someone who is ghosting you.
1. Comment on their content and add value by making them look good. Do this on their company page too.
2. Endorse them for skills they have on their profile and leave them a recommendation if you feel like you want to add value to them.
3. Become friends with their friends and connections and engage with them creating Fomo
4. Tag them in a post and talk about them IN A POSITIVE WAY (People notice this)
5. Greet them with happy holidays, good wishes, etc.
6. Send them a helpful insight about something they may care about.
7. Send them a message mentioning something that will peak their curiosity.. (OMG, you wont believe who mentioned your name to me... )
8. Connect with other people in their company and build a relationship around them to find opportunity inside their company without bothering them.
9. Send them an invite to a special event but dont give them all the info upfront.. (I am attending a special event with top CEOs in NYC, thought you might want to join as my guest, I have one spot open, wanna join?)
10. Send them a powerful resource that you know is aligned with what their goals are and track to see if they open it. If they do not open it, they are likely not paying attention to communication you are sending so move on to other forms of communication or let this one go.
Hope you found this helpful.
