Its such a hurtful thing when prospects ghost, I spend time with them on the phone, write up custom contracts and proposals to them - showing plenty respect and that I'm very interested in working with them, and no I don't come across as too desperate, so I hope. And they will pretend like you don't exist, zero respect of my time or efforts. Such a cruel world out there... yes I know its business so theres no room for the word "hurtful' but yes it really hurts! Theres no denying it. I find it very wrong that prospects ghost, if they are a religious person how on earth do they face God that night knowing that they've completely disrespected another human and stole the persons time. Having said all that, now that people can be cruel, rude, disrespectful and give no fucks about my time - there's being smart about things and making sure I don't get robbed of my time. So I appreciate your advice and help! Shloimy
I think now-a-days people just are being rude and will NOT reply no matter what. I've sent emails asking "Jeff, are you still interested in pre-planning?" and they just don't respond. In the body of my emails, I'll say... If you are no longer interested in pre-planning, you can reply to this email and let me know. This way we won't keep trying to get you to move forward with us if you're already taken care of"... something to that effect and people will not hit the "reply" button and say anything! So then I have to let them know that I will check in on them periodically since I haven't heard from them just to make sure they know that we are still here if they would like to get more info. The really frustrating part is that some of these folks may not even be alive any longer... Especially if the lead is from 2015 SMH. And I can't just get rid of them because there are some people that will FINALLY say to us... "Ready!" But, I won't give up and try what you shared. Thank you, Marcus!
