What Do You Mean by Ghost?
Maybe you've called them or messaged them, but they don't reply back to you at all!
It's like they're hiding but you go on Facebook and you know they exist, they are right there…
But nope, they’re not replying back to your messages.
And maybe you're hesitant to Follow Up because you fear:
-Coming off as pushy or desperate
-Losing the relationship
One of the important thing as a networker is you want to collect friends and expand your network, you don't want to lose friends.
Reasons Why People are Ghosting You
The reason why they're ghosting you is because either
a) They're not interested and feel bad for saying “No”
b) They don't have the time to look at what you've sent them
In other words, right now the timing is NOT right for the prospect
Fortunately, that doesn't mean they'll never be interested.
The key is to maintain the relationship because this will set you up for future followups when the timing is right for them
