Dear Michael,
I had it all planned.
The perfect scan. The flawless follow-up. The seamless journey from “Nice to meet you” to “Let’s do business.”
And yet—here we are.
Days have passed. Weeks, even. My inbox remains void of your reply.
And my CRM entry for you? A cold, empty space.
Did I move too slow? Did another vendor sweep you off your feet with a more dazzling dashboard?
I tell myself stories to soften the pain.
Maybe you got swamped. Maybe your boss derailed your budget. Maybe you’re thinking of me, too—hovering over my email, about to hit reply, but… something stops you.
Or maybe—you’ve forgotten me entirely.
If that’s the case, I’ll do what all tragic heroes must: learn from my mistakes.
Next time, my follow-up will be swifter. My engagement, more compelling. My tools? Smarter.
And if fate grants us another event, another scan, another fleeting chance—Michael, I won’t let you go.
Still hopeful,
Rachel
