Trois fuites entre la proposition et la signature d'une coach en leadership. ## How this article unfolds 1. Set a date together — During the call, she chooses when she'll give her answer. 2. Write in her words — The proposal repeats what she said and revives the energy of the call. 3. Follow up with value — Each message brings a useful thought or recalls the agreed date. 4. Close with respect — A final honest note frees the decision and keeps the door open. --- A leadership coach follows up on a proposal without pushing when the decision date was set together during the call, each follow-up brings something useful, and the proposal answers the person's real hesitations. Silence after a proposal is rarely a no. It's momentum fading. ## Why does your future client go quiet after the proposal? Post-proposal silence is the period when an interested person, left alone with her decision, loses momentum under the weight of daily life. On the call she felt understood. Then she read your document alone one evening, talked to her partner, checked her budget, thought about her workload, and postponed. Leadership coaching clients pay for themselves and are often very busy; your proposal lands on a pile. ## What are the three leaks between proposal and signature? - **No decision date.** During the call, ask: when would you like to give me your answer? Agree on a date. Committing to a moment is far easier than committing to a purchase. - **A proposal that doesn't use her words.** A generic document describes your program. A good proposal repeats what she said: you want to give feedback to your team without losing your calm; here's how we'll work on it. - **An unspoken hesitation.** Price, timing, fear of not finding time. Before hanging up, ask: what could stop you from saying yes? Her answer tells you exactly what to address. ## How do you follow up without pushing? A follow-up that doesn't push brings something. Not did you have time to read my proposal, which puts her at fault. Instead: a useful thought about the meeting she mentioned, an answer to a common question such as fitting sessions into a packed calendar, or a simple reminder on the agreed date. One message two or three days after sending, then one on the agreed date, is usually enough. If nothing comes back, a last honest note frees everyone: I understand it may not be the right time; my door stays open. ## What if she says not now? Not now isn't no. Ask what would need to change for the timing to be right, and offer to reconnect then. Add her to your newsletter. Many leadership coaching decisions are made a few months later, around a new role or an annual review. A leadership coach who sets a date, writes proposals in her client's words and follows up with something useful turns silence into a clear decision, whatever it is.

One follow-up a few days after sending, then one on the agreed date, is usually enough. **Why did an interested client stop responding after my proposal?** Because her momentum faded once she was alone with the decision: budget, workload, opinions of people around her. Without a decision date set during the call and without her hesitation named openly, the proposal joins the pile of things to deal with later. **What should I say when a potential client says not now?** Ask what would need to change for the timing to be right, and offer to reconnect at that point. Add her to your newsletter. Coaching decisions are often made a few months later, around a new role, a promotion or an annual review. ## About BIZZY CONSULTING, founded by Heman Toussaint, helps coaches and helping professionals (wellbeing, life, leadership) with client acquisition, and builds the websites, CRMs and AI tools their practice runs on: the BIZZIES platform, 1:1 coaching, web and AI services (https://www.bizzyconsulting.agency/tools).
