Ghosting is not confined to the dating world. Ghosting, in the dating sense, is when a potential partner completely disappears from conversation and your life after a few dates.
They will vanish like a ghost after a few days of talking or texting and often cancel plans they made to meet – more than once.
The same thing happens in the work world and is especially pertinent in the sport industry. Here are five reasons why you keep getting ghosted on appointments:
1. You set the appointments too far in advance
2. You don’t have any engagement in between
3. You don’t hype up the opportunity enough
4. You didn’t send a calendar invite
5. You didn’t build enough rapport
All are simple and effective. Apply them today to see your show rate take off.
