You had a great conversation. The prospect seemed interested. They asked thoughtful questions and even discussed next steps. Then suddenly… nothing. No replies. No calls. No explanation. You’ve been ghosted!
Ghosting is a rapidly-growing and highly frustrating phenomenon in personal or professional communications. Ghosting is the practice of suddenly ending all communication and avoiding contact with another person without warning or explanation.
In business, effective communications is the lifeblood of good relations with customers, employees, and vendors. Ghosting doesn’t just create frustration. It can slow sales cycles, reduce forecasting accuracy, drain productivity, and cause organizations to miss revenue opportunities.
