I have a couple deals where the last call went well, then silence. No objection, no “no,” just nothing. I am trying to follow up with something useful instead of “just checking in,” like a one-pager or a short recap with options. It still feels like guessing. What follow-up approach actually gets a response for you when someone goes quiet?

Give them a timeline of when I’ll be back in touch, and give that recap along with it. Truth is end of the year tends to be like that. You’ll be surprised how many people are back in touch in Q1.

thanks!

Hi Fishers,

What is the best time of the year to be in the notice period?

I mean what is the time of the year where requirements in most of the companies are at pick?

Like in Dec and March you will see less requirement due to Christmas and financial year ending. Similar what is the best period?

Because in my previous switch, 15 days were wasted due to Christmas and in March lot of requirements went on hold due to financial year ending.

Thanks

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
