'We're not starting new projects until [Month].' 6. 'Our key person just left.' After all scenarios: - How to stay in touch during a 'pause' without being annoying - Drip sequence for parked prospects (3 touches over 8 weeks) - How to re-engage when timing improves - How to use the wait to build relationship - How to tell a genuine delay from a polite no
