Appropriate follow up for sensitive situation
I sell mobile websites and had an in person appointment with a potential customer. This prospect showed a LOT of interest over the phone and was excited to schedule an in person meeting.
On the day of the meeting I showed up and his wife answered the door. That morning there had been a death in the family. Obviously, no time to think about trivial things like business matters. I simply expressed my condolences and let them be.
Now, I don't want to come off as a total jerk and just call to reschedule the appointment like nothing happened - but I also don't want to be overly involved in his personal life or sound weird addressing the issue.
What is the appropriate follow up. This guy still needs my services, once his life starts getting back to normal.
