Manage episode 471000531 series 3551442
Ever Been Left in Proposal Purgatory?
Your "perfect fit" client who was THRILLED about working together suddenly vanishes into thin air.
No replies. No feedback. Nothing but deafening silence.
Meanwhile, you're left checking your inbox every 5 minutes, second-guessing everything from your pricing to your professional worth.
In this week's episode, I'm ending the ghosting nightmare once and for all.
You’ll discover:
- The insanely clever question that gets a reply 95% of the time - even if it’s just to tell you, “no”.
- What to say to take control of the conversation so you aren't the one being ghosted anymore.
- How to improve your proposals so you don't get ghosted in the first place.
- Why ghosting happens - it's not always because they don't want to work with you.
- When to send chaser emails - and when to let the project go.
So tune in now to get all this and more so you never get ghosted again.
