I'm just wondering, are people on the other side of the mail "actively" rejecting you when you say that kind of stuff, or is more of a subconscious thing?

- scotty79 13y agoI'd say it's subconcious. You pose a task for them and they just wait, try to think about nice things and hope you and the task will go away.
- vinceguidry 13y agoWhat probably happens is this. The client gets your email, sees a list of things that you can do for them, thinks "great, finally I have someone that can help me take care of X" Their minds start thinking over the possibilities. "Well, if I got him started on X, we'd need Y, Z, and A." They'd mull over it for, I dunno, two minutes, until a phone call interrupts them. No further thought happens again until you get back in touch with them. It's not that they didn't want to work with you, it's that they're busy, and if they had the knowledge they needed to turn the muddy requirements in their head into actionable steps, then they wouldn't need you. You need to sell them something.
- Mimu 13y agoI think it's like: 1. Bad email: Pff, so I need to create a whole strategy by myself, use money to maybe hire a guy I don't even know... 2. Good email: This looks good maybe we can talk further about it. / This looks bad I'll declined or not respond. First case, guy has to do the work, and nobody likes to do unexpected work. Second case, the guy just need to agree or not at the plan in front of him.
