Subject: Closing the file on [Company Name] Hi [First Name], I've reached out a few times over the last month regarding [Your Solution] and haven't heard back. Usually, when this happens, it means this project is completely off the table, or you've simply been swamped with other priorities. I'm going to go ahead and close out your file so I stop cluttering your inbox. If things change and [Pain Point] becomes a priority again next quarter, please feel free to reach back out. Wishing you all the best! [Your Name]
💡 Pro Tip
The Breakup email consistently gets the highest response rate in B2B sales. People inherently hate having something 'taken away' from them and will often reply immediately to keep the door open.
