I posted a couple of days ago about a chat I was having with a possible partner. Now ignoring the fact that I started the conversation off on the wrong foot by talking about a tool (Sales Saver Campaign), I mentioned about following up with his unconverted leads from a webinar and this is the response that I got:
“Hey Tom, that's a good offer but not something I'm especially interested in at the moment.
The reason: I'm very protective of my list and leads.
Having you follow up with them would mean giving you access to them and I'd prefer not to hand my list over to someone else.
But not a bad idea to offer that to some of the other webinar guys you see out there though, someone might bite.
Appreciate the offer.”
So just trying to learn from this. Did I make a mistake by bringing up their list and how I would follow up with them or is this person just in a scarcity mindset? Has anyone else come across this before?
