In this segment, the speaker describes a sales experience where an initial buyer verbally committed to a purchase but then ghosted, leaving the deal in limbo. A second buyer soon expressed interest and promised to get the deal done, but the speaker had to continuously chase him through LinkedIn and WhatsApp over several months. Despite the prolonged follow‑up and uncertainty, the second buyer eventually completed the purchase, highlighting the importance of persistence and multi‑channel communication in closing sales.

there was a buyer before the buyer that actually purchased. She was like, yeah, no, we're 100% going for this. Let's do it. And then she just ghosted me. She just, she was just gone. And then this new buyer came in and he said it in word, early days. He's just like, yeah, let's do this. I want to get you paid, get this sorted. Then I just had to kind of keep chasing up on him on LinkedIn and on WhatsApp. There was a lot going on over the past couple of months, but it went through, which is great.
