How long do you wait for a prospect to join a Teams / Meet call before you decide to bail?

Question

Everyone's been there.... what's your limit?

10 mins, but I usually email them and say I would love to reschedule. It's good to be patient with people, bc I'd want them to be patient with me!

Personally I wait for around 10 minutes. If they haven't shown up by then, I send a follow-up message to check if there’s a reschedule needed. It helps to keep things moving smoothly.

Answer

I usually give them a 5 minute grace period, then send a quick message saying I'm standing by whenever they're ready. If no response after 10 min total, I'll send a friendly email proposing some new times to reschedule. Stuff happens, so a little patience and understanding goes a long way in building good relationships!

@chloeannettemiller Nice... I always send a reminder email 15 mins earlier to decide on it. It works always. But still, if people miss 5-10 mins at max is good grace period.

@aquiles_byars Good! And if there's response, we would get to know whether they are interested to proceed or not.
