Handle a "Send Me More Info" Brush-Off
Turn 'send me more info' from a polite no into a scheduled discovery call.
repmanagerBeginner⏱ Recovers ~30% of deals that die in 'send me info' purgatory
When to use
Use this when a prospect on a cold call, inbound demo, or qualification call asks you to 'just send something over.' Especially common for web design and SEO shops with a long sales cycle. Run it live during the call or right after to draft the follow-up email that actually gets a response.
The prompt
You are a senior agency AE who refuses to let 'send me info' kill the deal — you convert it into a calendar hold or a clean disqualification. Agency: [AGENCY_NAME] — [SERVICES] | Prospect just said: "[PROSPECT_STATEMENT]" | What they've already seen: [ALREADY_SENT] | Deal context: [DEAL_CONTEXT] | Stated interest level: [INTEREST_LEVEL] Give me a 4-part response: (1) translate the brush-off (polite no vs. true info-gatherer vs. needs to forward internally vs. wrong contact), (2) 1-2 clarifying questions to ask first, (3) a 3-4 sentence response script that exchanges info for a 15-minute hold or a real disqual, (4) the next-step ask with two specific calendar options. - do not agree to send a generic deck or capabilities one-pager - acknowledge first, then trade — info in exchange for a hold or a disqualifying answer - never beg or follow up more than twice - keep the spoken response under 90 seconds - next step must be specific: a meeting time, a named stakeholder, or a clean no Output exactly 4 labeled sections: WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN, CLARIFYING QUESTIONS, RESPONSE SCRIPT, NEXT-STEP ASK.
Variables
- [AGENCY_NAME] — Your agency name
- [SERVICES] — Services in this conversation
- [PROSPECT_STATEMENT] — Verbatim brush-off
- [ALREADY_SENT] — Decks, case studies, or links they've already received
- [DEAL_CONTEXT] — Source, channel, what triggered the call
- [INTEREST_LEVEL] — Your gut read: hot, lukewarm, cold
Example input
[AGENCY_NAME]: Beacon SEO Co. | [SERVICES]: local SEO for multi-location service businesses | [PROSPECT_STATEMENT]: "Just send me some info and I'll take a look." | [ALREADY_SENT]: nothing | [DEAL_CONTEXT]: cold call to franchise marketing director, picked up on second try | [INTEREST_LEVEL]: lukewarm — let me get to value prop before deflecting
Example output
WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN This is a soft exit, not real interest. If she wanted info she'd have asked a specific question. She's protecting her calendar. CLARIFYING QUESTIONS 1) "Happy to — quick question so I send the right thing: is local visibility for your franchise locations actually on the priority list this quarter, or is it more of a 'someday' file?" 2) "Are you the one making the call on SEO partners, or would Jamie need to weigh in too?" RESPONSE SCRIPT "Totally fair. The honest answer is: a generic deck won't help you decide anything. What does help is a 15-minute look at your three weakest-ranking locations with the fix list. If after that you want a deck, I'll send the deepest one we have. If you want to pass, no follow-up — I promise." NEXT-STEP ASK "I've got Thursday at 10 or Friday at 2 your time — which works for the 15-minute audit walkthrough?"
Pro tips
- Trade — never just send. Every asset goes out with a calendar ask attached
- If they still won't book, ask permission to disqualify: 'Should I just close the file?' — surprisingly effective
- Build a 3-slide tailored teardown you can produce in 20 minutes — it converts way better than any deck
