How many times should I follow up with a Sales VP (clicked but didn't reply)?

Send it after the third unanswered touch, not after the first silence. Follow up within 24 to 48 hours of the click while the page is still in their tab graveyard. After that, send a breakup note and archive it. A sales VP who wants it will answer a clean close more often than a fifth bump.

Is a breakup email the same as an unsubscribe?

No. A breakup email closes one thread. If they asked not to be contacted, honor that and remove them. Don't dress a suppression request as a cute last-chance campaign. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Should I mention that they clicked my email or page?

You can, gently, if your relationship and industry make that normal. A lot of buyers find it creepy. Safer: reference the topic they likely cared about and ask a question about that topic. Let them keep some privacy. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Is it okay to send this breakup email on LinkedIn instead of email?

Yes if this sales VP is actually active there and the thread isn't about long attachments. Keep the LinkedIn version even shorter. Don't paste the full email. One context line and one question is plenty. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

What should I never say in a Real Estate breakup email?

Don't joke about 'winning the deal.' It sounds like a seminar. Telling them how to sell. They've heard it. Don't say 'I saw you clicked our pricing page' unless you can do it without sounding like a camera in the ceiling. Those three mistakes show up constantly in Real Estate inboxes and they all read as "this was templated."

Subject

Okay to archive [Company Name]?

Body

Hi [First Name],

Last ping from me on [topic].

In Real Estate, that usually shows up as leads that go cold between showing and offer because nobody followed up like a human. I'm archiving this so it doesn't sit in my follow-up list. You can always reply later if leads that go cold between showing and offer because nobody followed up like a human comes back.

Given this is clicked but didn't reply, ask which part didn't line up, or offer a shorter artifact.

Wishing you a clean quarter either way.

Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Title]
[Your Company]
