Industrial machinery buyers evaluate 5+ vendors—differentiate early. Re-engage lost deal prospects in Industrial Machinery with proven follow-up sequences. Address Deal cycles 6-9 months, decision paralysis and Budget shifts mid-cycle (40% of deals).
Re: Lost Deal at {{companyName}} - next steps{{firstName}}, I noticed we haven't connected in about 30 days since our lost deal discussion. I wanted to reach out with some relevant updates. We recently worked with Caterpillar on Deal cycles 6-9 months, decision paralysis, and they saw measurable results within the first quarter. Given Budget shifts mid-cycle (40% of deals) often impacts Industrial Machinery sales teams, I thought this might be worth exploring. Are you open to a quick sync this week? Thanks, [Your Name]
