Understanding Silence Patterns:

Silence after a proposal is not a single signal. This tool helps you differentiate between common patterns:

• Paralysed buyer: Continued document engagement without communication suggests the buyer is working through a decision privately.
• Genuine disengagement: Silence in both communication and document activity indicates the deal may no longer be active.
• Internal friction: A new stakeholder appearing or the champion going quiet mid-conversation suggests the deal is progressing internally without your direct involvement.
• Insufficient signal: Lack of visibility into post-proposal activity means every follow-up is a guess without data to interpret.
