How to Restart a Dead Deal

from Closing the Deal with Fexingo: Sales, Negotiation, and Revenue Conversations for Operators · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna break down why B2B deals that go dark for two weeks or more can still be revived—without sounding desperate or needy. They walk through a real case from a SaaS company where a $340,000 annual contract was sitting untouched for 23 days after the final proposal. Rather than sending 'just checking in' emails, the sales rep used a specific trigger event—a competitor's product launch press release—to reopen the conversation without asking for a status update. Lucas explains the structural reason deals die (internal priority shift, not lost interest) and the one-question email template that works when all else fails. Luna pushes back on the risk of seeming manipulative, and they land on the difference between a strategic re-engagement and a desperate poke. Every salesperson who has watched a promising deal go silent will get at least one specific tactic they can use tomorrow. #DeadDeal #SalesResurrection #B2BSales #SalesStrategy #DealRevival #SalesTactics #ActiveSales #ProposalFollowUp #SaaS #SalesPsychology #Revenue #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClosingTheDealWithFexingo #SalesTraining #Negotiation #TriggerEvent #SalesProcess Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
