I had a potential client that I started calling on the 7th of January. She would tell me to call at a certain time/day and I would. She wouldn't answer, or if she did, she was too busy. Long story short, I finally decided today that I am done pursuing here. I have called her over 80 times, and text her, and emailed her. At this point, I figure if I finally got in touch with her and she did listen, the chances of getting what I need from her would most likely be a huge chase again. I left the ball in her court, told her if she needs my services in the future, she has my number. Might not be the best way to handle it, but I'm done with the chase. I've spent way too much time following up on "Call me at x".

Deals move faster when I talk less and ask better questions. When I slow down and let prospects explain their situation fully, objections show up early instead of at the end. Makes the whole process cleaner. Curious how others structure discovery without overtalking.

Local businesses reach out wanting websites, SEO, automations. But their actual service is weak. Bad follow-ups. Poor customer experience. Inconsistent delivery. Here’s my concern: marketing brings attention, but reviews reflect reality. If customers only leave reviews when they’re unhappy, the agency ends up taking the blame when rankings or conversions don’t “work.” Money is money, sure. But constant damage control is a headache I don’t want long-term. So what’s the right move here? Take the deal and manage expectations? Or be upfront and say: “Fix the service first, then we scale demand”? Curious how experienced agencies handle this.
