How do I get a sales VP to take a meeting?

Show a leak they recognize: slow follow-up, weak stage conversion, messy handoffs. Ask for a short look at that one number. Don't pitch a philosophy of selling. They already have one, and their forecast is louder than your sequence. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

What subject line works for Hospitality thank you emails (clicked but didn't reply)?

Name the situation and the business object, not your excitement. Something like "Hospitality note on direct bookings leaking to OTAs" outperforms "Just checking in" because a sales VP can decide from the preview text whether it's worth opening. Keep it under 50 characters when you can.

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

Send it the same day. Thanks that arrive a week later feel like a task. 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.

How soon should I send a thank-you after a meeting?

Same day, ideally within a few hours. Waiting until the next morning is fine if the meeting ran late. Waiting until Friday for a Monday meeting makes it look like a chore. 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.

Thank You for Hospitality Sales VP: Clicked But No Reply

A thank-you email for a Hospitality Sales VP (clicked but didn't reply) is a short message that reopens the thread without making them do extra work.

What this Sales VP actually cares about

A sales VP in Hospitality is protecting quota, forecast credibility, and rep time. They think in pipeline, ramp, and forecast risk. If you can't map your email to a number they already report, it feels like a hobby. The hook that earns a look is a stage in the funnel that's leaking, a slow follow-up SLA, or a ramp problem. The ask should stay at this size: a 15-minute look at one metric, not a platform tour. Delete trigger: Telling them how to sell. They've heard it. If your note would embarrass them in a team channel, rewrite it.

How Hospitality changes the note

Body

Hi [First Name],

Thanks for [specific action]. It actually unblocked [outcome].

The version of this that matters for GMs, revenue managers, and owners balancing occupancy, labor, and reviews is moved 9 points of mix from OTA to direct with post-stay follow-up that didn't beg. If it's useful, I can share the [notes / one-pager / intro] we mentioned so you have it in writing.

Guess the hesitation in plain language: timing, fit, or internal buy-in.

If I can return the favor, say the word.

Best,
[Your Name]

Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
