Clients Ghosting You After Engaging In Several Emails
August 26, 2024Q:
The hardest part of this business is dealing with clients ghosting you after engaging in several emails.
How do you get clients to give a quick update???
A:
“GHOSTING” is the new norm due to overworked, busy clients. Potential ways of getting responses include a clean-up of how we communicate:
1. Our note needs to be short, concise, clear, and fast.
2. End ours with the question instead of asking it in the beginning.
3. Assume it’s not good news and would be time-consuming for them to form their words, so you can ask in a way that allows them to say “yes” or “no.”
4. Listen to the ghosting as a business cue to take stock of why the client doesn’t need you right now.
