most sales reps kill deals with their follow-ups (here’s how to fix it)

so i’ve been in sales for a while, and the one thing that still blows my mind? how many reps completely tank their chances with shitty follow-ups. not because they’re spamming people, because they’re sending nothing.

"just checking in"
"wanted to circle back"
"following up on my last email"

like, checking in on what? you never gave them anything to actually respond to. prospects aren’t mind readers. if you don’t say something useful, they’re gonna ignore you.

so what actually works? here’s what i’ve seen:

instead of "just following up," try:

"i recorded a 2-min video showing how [similar company] cut their onboarding time by 40%. thought of you because you mentioned this was a bottleneck last time we talked."

instead of "wanted to circle back," try:

"saw this article about [industry trend] and immediately thought of our convo. the part about [specific insight] lines up with what you said about [their challenge]."

instead of "any updates?" try:
"quick question, are you still focused on [goal they mentioned], or have priorities shifted? context changed, so i don’t want to waste your time."

the pattern here is simple:

• give value first
• show you actually listened
• make it about them, not your quota
• make it easy to respond (ask a specific question)

i built a tool that does this automatically. it pulls call recordings, videos, and docs into one link so you’re not just sending another empty "checking in" email. not because reps are lazy, because prospects are busy, and they don’t have time to guess what you want.

Is this what it takes ?

Veteran Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang still works 7 days a week, every moment he's awake.

He checks emails from 4am - every single day.  Not one day missed. Including Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

Half of all Nvidia employees are worth over 25,000,000 USD each thanks to stock grants approved by Huang. 

Huang has described his leadership style bluntly " I torture them into greatness ",
a reflection of the extreme standards behind Nvidia's success. 

So why does real business look nothing like LinkedIns candy-ass fantasy world where every tough boss is " Toxic ", every deadline is " abuse ",
every " micromanagement " is grounds to quit, and feelings matter more than performance ?
