đ© They didnât ghost me. They froze.

Hi ,
A few years back, I had what looked like a perfect sales call.
The prospect was warm.
They had a clear need.
They said theyâd been following my work for weeks and were âseriously consideringâ hiring someone for help.
By the end of the call, I thought it was a done deal.
But then⊠crickets.
I followed up a few days later. Nothing.
A week later. Still nothing.
I gave it a few more tries before assuming the usual:
âThey werenât ready.â
âMaybe they found someone else.â
âGuess they ghosted.â
I told myself a neat little story and moved on.
A few months later, I ran into them on a group call.
We chatted, and they said this:
âI felt kind of embarrassed. I wanted to move forward. But I kept thinking⊠what if this doesnât work for me either? What if Iâm just not âgoodâ at this kind of stuff?â
And there it was.
They didnât ghost me.
They froze.
And the worst part?
I had done nothing to help them unfreeze.
Most prospects are not afraid of you.
Theyâre afraid of making the wrong decision.
Theyâre not worried about your offer.
Theyâre worried about their own ability to use it right.
And if your messaging only talks about what you offer â without calming the fear that lives underneath their interest â theyâll quietly slip away.
This is where a lot of smart, well-meaning businesses lose people.
Fear doesnât respond to pressure.
It responds to clarity and reassurance.
Hereâs what I started doing after that call:
- I began adding short lines like: âEven if this isnât your first time trying to fix thisâŠâ
- I acknowledged hesitation directly: âItâs normal to be unsure. Thatâs why we break things down, step-by-step.â
- I gave context for the process: âWe donât expect perfect. We just need honest input â and weâll build from there.â
Nothing fluffy.
Just words that made it okay to proceed.
Thatâs what we focus on in Day 4 of The Client Conversation Fix.
We go deep into:
- How to identify the fears under the silence
- What kinds of phrases lower the emotional âcostâ of saying yes
- Why safetyânot pressureâis what moves people forward
Youâll learn how to turn quiet hesitations into quiet confidence â with messaging that meets people where they actually are.

If someoneâs afraid to buy, your message is either helping them breathe â or making them brace.
To messaging that calms instead of pushes,
