Made an offer and seller rejected. Now what?

I made an offer on a home that was in the middle of a flip where the family ran out of time/money. I made a low offer hoping that she would counter and meet me in the middle well.....

"Hi Ryan. Without using up any more of your time, I do not think that an offer of $65,000 is going to work for us at this time. I will go through my papers and double check my numbers just to be sure that your offer can or can not be worked with. Thank you for your time and best of luck to you."

Now what? I realistically have a good amount of room to increase my offer. She does sales for a living I assumed she would counter.
