1️⃣ If the prospect answers but the call is shallow
(< 3–4 minutes, polite, no real engagement)
Example outcomes
- “Send me details”
- “Not a good time”
- Vague answers, no curiosity
- No clear pain admitted
What to do
✅ DO NOT stop the sequence
✅ Continue the sequence as planned
✅ Reference the call lightly in the next email
Why:
Value lands through repetition and reframing, not one interaction.
2️⃣ If the prospect answers and engages meaningfully
(5–15 minutes, discusses ops, agrees with insight)
Example signals
- Says “That’s interesting”
- Agrees with the reframe
- Asks “How do others handle this?”
