“I’m pretty busy right now…send me the info and I’ll take a look.”

People that aren’t interested.

Busy is a state that is not fixed.  If you are interested in something, time magically opens up.  If not, it gets put on the queue.  If there is a lot of other stuff in the queue, that “something” generally never sees the light of day.

If you want to get someone interested in your pitch / product / company / service, you need to be persistent, memorable, and convincing.  If you leave the conversation at “send me the info…” and never follow-up, it is your own fault.

Your job is to change the busy state and make people interested.
