📖 Duhigg — Find what's actually blocking them
Most "I'll think about it" responses have a hidden specific reason. Your job is to find it — not overcome it, just understand it.
Ask directly what type of concern it is
"[Name], just between us — is it more about the timing, the amount, or something else I might have missed?"
Gives them 3 easy options to point to. Much easier than saying nothing or repeating "I'll think about it."
Reflect back what you heard
"So the main thing is [what they said]. If we could sort that out, would the rest of it feel okay to you?"
Isolates the one real blocker. If they say yes, you now have one specific thing to solve — not a vague hesitation.
Ask what good looks like
"What would need to happen for you to look back on this and feel it was the right call?"
Gets them thinking about success, not risk. They often answer this and realise they already have what they need.
🎙️ Terry Gross — Make it safe to be honest
People say "I'll think about it" because they don't feel safe saying no. Give them permission to say no — it's counterintuitively the most effective thing you can do.
Give them permission
"Honestly, if it's not the right fit, just tell me — I'd rather know than have you feel awkward about it."
People who feel trapped say nothing. People who feel safe tell the truth. And truth is what you need to move forward.
Ask what their ideal looks like
"What would it look like for you, say a year from now, if everything worked out the way you hoped?"
Gets them out of "should I do this?" and into "what do I actually want?" Much easier to connect your offer to their own picture.
Low-pressure re-engage
"I came across something related to what we discussed — no agenda, genuinely thought you'd find it useful. Worth a quick look?"
Keeps the relationship warm without pressure. Shows you were thinking about them, not just following up for your own sake.
🎧 Maron — Just be real
Drop the polish. The most disarming thing you can do is speak plainly and admit you don't have all the answers either.
Name the awkward thing
"Look, I know it's a big decision. Most people I've seen hesitate — it's either not the right time, or something I said didn't land right. Which is it?"
Naming the awkward thing takes away its power. They stop managing the conversation and start being honest.
Ask about both sides
"What's the downside if you go ahead and it's not perfect? And what's the downside if you hold off and another year goes by?"
Not a trick — just helping them think it through clearly. The cost of waiting is often higher than the cost of an imperfect start.
Be straight with them
"I'll be honest — I think this fits your situation well. But if there's something that doesn't feel right, I'd genuinely rather know."
Saying "I think this fits you" only works if you mean it. If you do, say it plainly. It lands very differently than a polished sales pitch.
🎬 Cavett — Cut straight to it
Separate the decision from the obstacle. Most hesitation isn't about whether they want it — it's about one specific thing in the way.
Separate want from obstacle
"Let me ask you this — if the cost wasn't a factor, would you do it?" [They say yes.] "Okay, so we're really just talking about the numbers then — not whether this is right for you."
Reframes the whole conversation. If they'd say yes without the barrier, there's only one thing left to solve.
Paint two paths
"A year from now — one version of you started. Another version waited. What does each of those look like?"
Vivid and simple. No pressure — just a clear contrast. They usually already know which version they want to be.
Get a specific date
"Let's not leave it open. Can we say I'll follow up on [date]? I'll have [one thing] ready. No pressure either way."
Vague follow-ups disappear. A specific date and a specific thing to review keeps the door open without feeling like chasing.
🎤 Rogan — Talk about the long game
Help them see the discomfort as a sign they're making a real decision — not a sign to stop.
Normalise the discomfort
"Every decision that's actually mattered to me felt a bit uncomfortable at first. That feeling usually just means it's real."
Reframes hesitation as healthy rather than a red flag. Said casually, this lands. Said as a technique, it doesn't.
The people who waited
"I've seen people in your exact position wait a year or two. The ones who wished they hadn't — they all said the same thing. The right time never really came."
Real and grounded. Not manipulative — it's just what you've genuinely observed. If it's true, say it.
Just have the conversation
"Forget the pitch. What's actually going through your head right now? Let's just talk it through."
Drops the advisor frame entirely. Sometimes people just need to think out loud with someone they trust. Be that person.
⚡ Use these anytime — regardless of style
Ask what it would take
"What would need to be true for you to feel good about moving forward?"
Stops guessing. Lets them tell you the exact thing they need. Then you either provide it or you know it's not the right time.
Give them a clean out
"Whatever you decide — I'm fine either way. I just don't want to keep following up if it's not something you want to pursue. Where are you actually at?"
Releasing pressure often brings people forward. And if they say no, you've saved both of you a lot of time.
One low-key touchpoint
"I'll check back in [timeframe] — just a quick note, nothing formal. Sound okay?"
Gets explicit permission to follow up. They said yes, so it's not awkward when you do.

function doPost(e) {
var data = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
sheet.appendRow([data.phrase||'', data.date||'']);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({status:'ok'}))
.setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}
function doGet(e) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var rows = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var result = rows.map(function(r){ return {answer:String(r[0]||''),date:String(r[1]||'')}; });
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(result))
.setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}
⚠️ Critical deployment settings: When deploying, set Execute as: Me and Who has access: Anyone. If you've already deployed with wrong settings, create a New Deployment (don't update the existing one) with these exact settings.
