Hot take: proposals are still one of the most outdated parts of modern sales

One of the most frustrating parts of sales:

A prospect sounds excited on the call…
asks for the proposal…
opens it…

and then disappears.

Now you’re stuck guessing:

  • are they interested?
  • stuck on pricing?
  • comparing competitors?
  • waiting for approval?
  • completely gone?

So most follow-ups become random timing + hope.

Feels insane that sales teams can track every website click…

…but proposals still feel like a black hole.

This is just something I’ve personally felt while working with clients though.

I could be completely wrong would genuinely love to hear other perspectives and learn.

How do you guys handle proposal follow-ups after sending them?

We’ve noticed one of the biggest bottlenecks for agencies is clients opening proposals and then disappearing completely. i feel most business owners come for price shopping and ghost away.
