Description

Most creatives assume that getting ghosted means the client wasn’t really interested - which feels especially confusing when they sounded so enthusiastic on your call...

So what happened between your delivery and their decision to leave you hanging?

It’s easy to convince yourself that they were just being polite on your call - that they didn’t really like your work or your pricing or your personality, and now they’re dreading handing you your rejection.

But what’s far more likely to be going on?

They hit one of the 6 roadblocks that cause clients to ghost - roadblocks that have nothing to do with your talent and everything to do with how you guide the deal.

In this episode, we break down the 6 most common reasons clients vanish after an inquiry - and how to flip the script into 6 strategies that close the deal instead.

We’ll cover how to:

  • Get all decision-makers on the call
  • Create urgency without being pushy
  • Remove friction from the booking process
  • Handle unspoken objections with confidence
  • Set clear timelines instead of waiting in limbo
  • Know when it’s time to drop it and move on

Ghosting isn’t random, it’s predictable - which is great news for you. When you know how to navigate the pitch and target all the pain points, you prevent yourself from getting left in the dark.

Tune in now for the 6 strategies that turn ghosts into booked clients. ⚡️👻

P.S. Another fool-proof way to avoid getting ghosted is to build an offer that clients can’t say no to - one that’s valuable, strategic, and marketed right. The next round of the 6 Week Creativ Rise Mastermind is happening this spring - in it, we show you exactly how to build the offers that are allowing our Mastermind grads to close 5-figure deals in their 6-figure businesses.
