Going wrong to get right

Subject: When sales markets go wrong, or when others don't hire 

Typical offenses:

1.) Ghosting and sub-ghosting. Refers to total potential client disappearance despite wanting or showing desire. Clue or no clue, unacceptable. Soon will be outlawed in LOAs or made too costly to consider. Here's a related link: https://povblogger.blogspot.com/2019/02/short-bursts-ghosting-time-flies-and.html?m=1

Ghost One: See link "short bursts."

Sub-ghosting refers to vanishing and then denying everything that was either agreed upon or done in sub-full.

2.) Pricing. Few can afford true professional services. Either because they expect more than what's perceived or because everything can be cheaper in a commodity-driven world.

3.) No high profile or brand, no premiums. Sad but true. Always has been, may always be.

What's the solution? Challenge status quo. Prove value with shared or in common examples. Keep moving to find better character...and characters. 

Btw: Latter can be fun and productive no matter what happens. 

Cheers,
