The warmest prospects in your pipeline aren't the new ones. They're the people who already said "yes, let's talk" but then never picked a time. It's our responsibility to keep that connection from going stale, which is where follow up nudges come in.
A follow-up cadence that works
Move fast, while the thread is still warm. Follow up within days of the agreement. Waiting over a week lets the intent go cold and forces you to rebuild context they've already forgotten.
Hand control to them first, calendar link as the fallback. People bristle at "here's my Calendly, pick a slot." Ask for their availability first, then offer your link as the easy option:
Thanks again for agreeing to chat! Do you have a calendar I can grab time on? If it's easier, here's mine: {calendar link}.
Send exactly one more nudge, then stop. If there's still no booking after about three days, send one short, light follow-up. After that, let it rest. Chasing a third and fourth time burns a connection that was genuinely warm.
No rush at all — just floating this back up in case it got buried. Same link if a slot works for you: {calendar link}.
Automate this process
You don't have to track all of this by hand. Sliq can review your LinkedIn conversations, surface every prospect who agreed to meet but never booked, and draft the follow-up for each — timed and held for your review so the voice stays yours. Click here to set it up.
