Where do potential customers go?

Question

Freelance

It's not even a question, but an observation. How often does this happen to you ... you are in correspondence with a possibly future customer, and now he already agrees to everything and is ready to give you a job, BUT suddenly your conversation is interrupted by the fact that he disappears somewhere and does not answer you, while you see that it seems to be online, but there are no more advances. Where do they disappear to?

Answer 1

1. Most likely, he corresponded with several people and chose another
2. Perhaps he did not have a task ready. It happens that customers will discuss everything with you, disappear, and then show up in a month like "we've drawn up the budget and specifications here, let's work!"
3. Just changed my mind about doing the job.

Answer 2

Don't dwell on it. Keep working on.

Answer 3

Maybe it's not the client at all. Intermediary or novice performer. Breaks the price.

Answer 4

An entrepreneur, along with the layout / programming of something small from a freelancer, has a number of problems:
- Federal Tax Service
- other fiscal services and checks
- salary
- clients
- office renovation
- suppliers
- partners
- sales managers call
- subordinates
- the business itself
- rent
- closing a business due to quarantine
- your competitors also write and call and can do it intrusively, because of which the time limit for this focus of employment can be exhausted
Roughly imagine how many points of failure there can be when communicating with such people .. This is the reason for the appearance of responsible / assistants and project managers ...
In addition, we do not know who you are communicating with, how you communicate and what kind of service.

Answer 5

They can disappear anywhere. From the word at all. Do not guess and do not suffer - just look for a new one. This is the norm, regardless of your level and quality of work.
