These Stories From r/salesSound Familiar?
Real sales reps losing real deals because they forgot to follow up. This is the #1 revenue leak in B2B sales—and it's 100% preventable.
"I Feel Robbed"
Competitors closed deals you already earned.
It just pisses me off because I remember having to do a lot of overcoming objections and educating this prospect... And this new person just lucked out and hit him with an email at the right time. Like they got a freebie off of all the ground work I put in.

What this means:
Buyers didn’t say no — they went quiet, then resurfaced elsewhere.
What Cognlay does:
Cognlay detects when silence signals timing, not disinterest — and re-enters the conversation when conditions change.
"Gave Up Too Soon"
You moved on. The buyer didn’t.
The prospect said maybe we could try again later in the year... turns out the prospect has new leadership now that's finally ready to try us out.
— r/sales
What this means:
Your pipeline logic assumes silence = dead.
What Cognlay does:

"Pipeline Feast or Famine"
Consistency keeps deals alive.

"Closed/Lost Lists Are Goldmines"
Year-round revival beats Q4 panic.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS USE Q4 to go through your closed/lost list. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS… There's gold in old.
— r/sales
What this means:
Deals die for reasons that change later — budget, leadership, timing.
What Cognlay does:
Cognlay runs quiet revival logic all year, not just when targets slip.
Cognlay treats every quiet inbox like data — tracking where conversations stalled, why timing slipped, and what to say when buyers resurface. You stay human. The system remembers everything else.
