🎙 Episode 2: Stop Getting Ghosted – How to Actually Talk to Decision Makers
In this episode of Find Your Source, Stephen tackles a frustration many businesses face: no one returning your calls, and U.S. manufacturers that just can’t seem to compete with pricing from China, India, or Vietnam.
But here’s the truth—if you want to find better options, build real partnerships, and stop spinning your wheels, you’ve got to go beyond the inbox. Stephen shares proven, boots-on-the-ground strategies that get you face-to-face with the people who can say yes—and that one yes could change everything.
💡 What You’ll Learn:
Why decision makers aren’t calling back—and what to do about it
How to cut through the noise and get real conversations started
The power of face-to-face meetings (yes, even in 2025)
How to fill your pipeline with solid contacts, not cold leads
Why hearing 100 “no’s” is still a win if it leads to the right “yes”
Stephen emphasizes that sourcing success takes persistence, confidence, and getting in front of the right people—not just sending another email.
