What Do I Do When A Potential Customer Seems Interested But Ghosts Me?
2 Sept 2026 · 23 min
When prospects ghost you, it's usually because they're busy, overwhelmed, or not a fit. Omar Zenhom and Nicole share tactics: make follow-ups frictionless with quick calls, reduce effort with free trials or onboarding videos, and stay in touch with value-first emails and webinars over time.
Questions this episode answers
Omar and Nicole explain that most ghosts are due to busy schedules, feeling overwhelmed, or not being a fit. They advise: (1) recognize it’s not personal, (2) follow up with low‑friction contact (quick call, clear next step), (3) reduce perceived effort with onboarding help or limited‑time bonuses, and (4) keep the prospect in a long‑term nurture loop (periodic check‑ins, value‑first messages) so they stay top‑of‑mind for future purchase or referrals.

You know that moment when a meeting ends and someone says, let's circle back on that next week? Everyone nods, but no one actually writes it down. The next week rolls around and it's radio silence. Nobody remembers because nobody took a note. That's why Granola exists. We love Granola in our business. We use Granola in every single meeting. And let me tell you why. Granola is an AI-powered notepad built for the way real people actually meet. Here's how it works. You take rough notes like you normally would, and in the background, Granola securely transcribes the meeting. Then it turns everything into clean, structured, actually useful notes when your meeting ends. I just came out of a meeting where we were discussing events that we're going to be planning for this year here at the $100 MBA, and Granola wrote meticulous notes for us so that afterwards we know who's doing what. So zero balls are dropped. And here's an amazing feature that I absolutely love about Granola. You can ask any questions about anything that happened during any meeting you're using Granola with. And in fact, it's so powerful it caused me to start thinking about our next hire. I actually asked Granola, hey, what's a recurring challenge that keeps coming up in all our meetings? Granola told me straight out that I was the bottleneck when it came to scripting episodes. So guess what? We made a hire and now Molly helps us out with scripting. Thank you, Molly and Granola. If meetings are eating up your day, Granola is a no-brainer. You can try it totally free. Just head to granola.ai/mba. That's granola.ai/MBA to get your time back. Try it for free at granola.ai/MBA. So you had a great conversation with a potential customer. They seemed interested, but then silence. They ghost you. A ghost is not a no most of the time. Mostly it's, I forgot, I'm busy, or I feel overwhelmed. This might not be the right time, and you're perceiving it as rejection. It's actually a chance for you to help. And yes, sometimes it is a no, but in my experience, most of the time it's not. And I'm going to show you how to identify each one and how to be able to reply to customers, potential customers, to get them over the line so that you can be a consultant, a helper, somebody that's on their side to make sure that you are giving them everything they need to make the decision to buy. In fact, there are 3 big reasons why people ghost. And only one of them means that they're not going to buy right now. So we're going to go through each one and explain what to do. I have Nicole with me here on Q&A Wednesday to help me go through this question and make sure that we answer for you.
Hi, Omar.
Hey, Nicole.
Hello. Well, gosh, ghosting. It's a term that gets thrown around a lot. So our listener/viewer is not alone. This question today comes from Mandy. Mandy asks, I had a potential customer who seemed really interested. And then just disappeared on me. No response to anything. What do I do to someone who ghosts me like that?
I first want to say that I know that you and I both hate getting ghosted. Okay, I think that we both think that everybody's like us, and the truth is that most people don't. Like, we feel like, I would never ghost anybody. I would always just reply, even if it's a no, even if I'm late, maybe I can't make it. You can't just like forget about— we're talking about even as friends, family, you know, dinners.
That's frustrating.
Things like that.
Is it a word that you even grew up with? I feel like it's a new generational thing. That's why I think we get frustrated.
Possibly. But I do think that our standards are quite high. And I think it kind of hurts us in a lot of ways because we just can't imagine, like, why would nobody reply to this? This is strange. Why would you just like, I sent you a message and you know that I'm waiting for you so I can know if I have to book the tickets or not. And you just don't It's rude. It is rude in my opinion. But what I'm saying is that a lot of us, we just leave it at that and say like, oh, these people are strange. They're rude. They're careless. They don't care about other people. And you just— we relate that to our own business. And sometimes we don't realize we're not actually helping ourselves or helping our business by knowing what to do with people, that this is normal.
Yeah. So if it's normal, what do we do?
Let's get into it. Welcome back to the $100 MBA Show. I'm your host Omar Zenhom, where I deliver practical business lessons 3 times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, to help you start, grow, and scale your business. Hey, if this show has helped you in any way, leave me a quick review wherever you listen to podcasts. This helps us reach even more people who need the same no-fluff practical business advice. It literally takes a few seconds, but it makes a huge difference. Thanks for being a part of our journey to help others on their journey. There are 3 big reasons I have found that people ghost. Now, there might be some other reasons here and there, but these are the 3 big buckets. And the first reason is probably the most common one, and a lot of people don't recognize this, and that is people are just simply busy. You might have a call with a customer that wants to sign up for your service to solve a certain issue in their problem or in their business, and they want to like improve something, make some money. Maybe they want to learn more about your product or service. This is one of many things on their plate. Like probably like you're probably priority number 72. Okay. And I'm not talking just about their business plate. I'm talking about their life. They have kids, they have family, they have to pick up the meds from the pharmacy for their dad's insulin. There's all these things that are going on in their life. They're just busy and they just, for some reason, missed your pitch or missed replying to you. Maybe they're disorganized. Maybe they don't have the help they need. All these things are true, right?
Mm-hmm.
But I think this is the biggest one because we feel like it's personal when it's not personal. It's just they're very busy. And I think that that's a good thing because if you're dealing with somebody busy, they're a doer, they're making things happen. And most business owners, people that are making money, are very busy. They don't have a lot of time.
So you're not letting them off the hook. You know, in a way it's a nice reframe that it's not a personal thing. Like, don't take it personally.
Yeah. And I, I actually love it when I get a sales call, when somebody calls me up, like for example, last week the gym called me and said, hey, we set They sent you an email and I was just too busy to reply to the email about my annual renewal. And they called me and they say, hey, you need to renew your membership. It's going to be canceling at this time, blah, blah, blah. And I actually appreciated it because I can just finish and close this loop right now on the call.
Mm-hmm.
Right? I can say, okay, just renew me. Or I can say like, when can I— you're going to the gym on Saturday? All right, I'll be there. I'll meet you on Saturday when you go to the gym and we'll renew your thing. I can close that chapter in my head now. You know, and that's actually easier. And some of us, we don't take that approach with our customers. We're like, just call them. Maybe they're just busy and a phone call is much easier. They're going to pick it up. They're in their car. Oh yeah. I'm so sorry about that. Where do we land? 1, 2, 3, 4. That sounds great. Let's make it happen. Send me the contract. I'll sign it today. You know, that sometimes is just the cure. It's just like understanding that they're busy. How can I make this easier for them so it fits in their busy schedule?
I like that. It's almost like you're not taking it personally. You're not feeling the rejection, the hurt. You just get out of that hurtful, There's a reason. There's a good reason.
Right. And I think that we forget that this happens to us. We get busy in our life. How many times have you ignored emails? How many times have you ignored letters in the mail from the plumber that wants to fix your thing or whatever? Or the, you know, the HVAC maintenance guy that, you know, put a letter in your door envelope thing, whatever. But the point is, is that like that person, you get upset like, this person didn't reply to me. My God, no. Like they're just going to be consistent about it and try to like help you out knowing that you're busy. All right, let's move on to reason number 2, and that's they're interested in your product or service, but they're overwhelmed. This is different from busy. It's not that they're too busy to answer you and they're sold. This is somebody who feels like getting started, doing what is required to solve this problem is going to be too much lift on their side. It's going to be too much work, too much time commitment. They're not really sure what's involved. It's just kind of in the too hard bucket.
Mm-hmm.
Like, I'm delaying the decision because it just feels like too much right now.
Like your pitch, you haven't explained clearly what the steps are. They don't— it's a bit vague. Because that could be a problem too, right? Or we're assuming the pitch is good, the offer is good. It's not clear to them. Why would it go into a too hard basket?
Well, we have to take responsibility as business owners. Often this feeling comes because they don't feel like the The desired outcome is achievable with your solution.
Mm-hmm.
Right? This is subconscious. And I'll go back to the gym example. Like, say for example, somebody's umming and ahhing. It's not like me, like I'm going to the gym, I just need to renew it because I like the gym. But what if somebody's like, I really didn't use the gym last year and I, I'm kind of delaying it and it's just too hard for them to commit because they feel like it's not gonna be worth it, right? This is where the gym has to step in and has to create an offer to make it easier for them to say yes. There's some friction here because they're overwhelmed. He's like, I don't know what I'm gonna do at the gym. I don't know the exercises properly. You know, I don't feel the motivation. I didn't get results last time. All this stuff is happening and delaying the decision. So the gym needs to repackage and say, hey, by the way, if you sign up today, we're gonna give you 3 personal training sessions for free. And if you come in today, we're gonna give you the one for free without even signing up. So you can go through the routines and see how it goes and be with one of our coaches. And then after the session, you can decide if you wanna renew.
Mm-hmm.
That's a good reframe. Now the prospect has no excuse. They're like, okay, I have nothing to lose. I can go and do a workout and see how it feels to have a personal trainer. Never had that before. They get the training, they get the exercises, they realize they're doing a few things wrong. They figure out that, oh, this is what a good workout looks like. If I sign up today, I get 2 more of these. It's tempting to do that. Now I'm giving them enough to get over the line. A lot of people don't understand that we don't say yes to an offer unless we feel like Getting to the desired outcome is gonna be low pain threshold, low effort threshold. We wouldn't go to a restaurant. Let's say for example, you're going to a French restaurant, it's fine dining, right? And then they said to you, okay, great, have a seat. It's gonna, you know, this is gonna be expensive meal, but don't worry, we're gonna take care of everything. And by everything we mean you're gonna come back in the kitchen and you're gonna put the ingredients together and you're gonna do all this stuff. I know you wore fancy clothes, but just wear this apron. It's gonna be fine. Like, you'd be like, no, I don't wanna do this.
Mm-hmm.
Like, it's too much effort. I wanna sit down and relax and have a meal and be pampered.
Okay. The restaurant example is one thing. I think because this applies to professional services, people who operate, say they're a law firm, accountants. I think this happens a lot in professional services. And I think we've experienced this with an immigration lawyer, for example, where it was really clear what the outcome was going to be working with that person, that it was just a no-brainer to say yes.
Right.
Because once you choose Like you may decide I'm going to work with this person. That's it. Like there's no more opportunity to come back to the first person that pitched you. So is it because the outcome is not clear?
Yes. I think that people don't understand what is required of them, right? As the customer, because they understand that you can't do everything. There's something that you have to do. Like even if, for example, you're hiring an agency to edit your videos, right? They need your videos. You need to shoot videos, right? So they have to outline, hey, this is all we need from you. Shoot. All the videos, this format, send it to us in this folder, we'll take care of the rest. Now it's a bit clearer picture. Hmm, that's not overwhelming. It's gonna take maybe, you know, a couple hours a week. I could do that to be able to boost my social media. Once they understand that this is linked to the outcome and this is all I need to do, but once it's all vague, like, oh, this big agency and the videos and the editing, do I have to approve things? Do I have to like, I don't know what this is all about. I've never done this before. You have to understand the customer is a newbie. They don't know what it's like to work with you. So you need to paint the picture and say, this is all you gotta do. This is your job, this is our job. Mm-hmm. And this is the outcome you're going to get when we do this.
Yeah. What I'm hearing is if you focus more on them in that scenario, then you reduce that overwhelm.
I love learning Italian, especially because I like to connect with my in-laws, particularly my mother-in-law who has us over every week for pasta. And I want to ask for extra helpings in Italian. It's kind of fun. That's why I'm excited to have Rosetta Stone as today's sponsor. Rosetta Stone just came out with Rosetta Stone Sapphire, their biggest launch in over a decade. It uses the research-backed method Rosetta Stone is known for with cutting-edge features that makes it easy to speak confidently about topics you care about. One of those features is Sapphire Studio, which lets you personalize your language learning based on what you actually care about right now. Say you want to be able to discuss your business in Italian. This actually happened to me. Nicole and I were in Italy. We were having some drinks with her cousin Manuela, and I was trying to describe to her in Italian what we do— podcasting, blogging, business education— and I gotta say, it was pretty challenging. I'm for sure gonna use Sapphire Studio to create vocabulary cards so I can know how to discuss business with Manuela the next time we meet. I also like to shop for clothes when I go to Italy, and I wanna learn a little bit more about how to say specific words when it comes to fashion, like shoe size and can I try this on? What I love about Rosetta Stone is that you're not just sitting there memorizing vocabulary. You're learning entirely in your new language through visuals, through audio, which helps you pick it up naturally.

Reason number 3 why they ghost you, and here it is: they don't actually want what you're offering yet. There is a world where people are just not a good fit for you at this moment of time. Maybe they can't afford it. Maybe they just actually don't have the time to do what they need to do to fulfill their end of the bargain, to get, you know, see success in this transaction. Regardless of what they say, this is actually good news for you.
Why?
Why?
Because you've already built a relationship with them. You've had a conversation with them. They understand what you're, you're able to do. Your job is to keep that relationship alive. That's the only mission you have. Why? Because if you continue just to check up on them, even it's like once a quarter, hey, hope everything's going with your business. Letting you know if I could support you in any way. We actually have this new service that's a little bit lower entry. You may want to take a look. If not, wishing you all the best. By the way, Happy New Year, whatever. Just be in touch like a friend so that when they are ready to buy, at some point they're going to be ready to buy. They have you top of mind. They're not going to be shopping around and looking at everybody else. I already know this person. I have their email. They email me every few months. The next time you email them and say, you know, Happy Easter, they're going to be like, oh, actually, can you tell me again about what you do? Because I think I might need it.
Right. So you're saying it's not just following up on, do you still need my services? Other types of content that you could put out there, whether it's around the festivities, like wishing people well around the festivities, or even other content, like if you're a law firm providing like insights into what's happening now, if you haven't unsubscribed from the list, could that still be helpful to be top of mind and having a system around continuous contact with your customers? That's not necessarily—
I mean, it could be both. I mean, you can definitely tell them, remind them of your services. Anything new that's happening in your business, maybe an upgrade that's happening, share some news. But you could just genuinely just check up on them, right? Just to see what's going on. And this doesn't have to be in a newsletter format. This could be literally you sending them a text message. It could literally be you sending them a WhatsApp, sending them an email, just a personal email saying, you know, hey, I saw on Facebook that you had a baby. Congratulations from all of us here at the office. Hoping everything's great. No ask, no nothing. Like, You're just top of mind. You're still in their world. The longer that you kind of ghost them, the harder it is for them to remember you and for you to then have that conversation again when they're ready.
Because this is a relationship ultimately.
Yeah, 100%. And the example that comes to my mind is you and I, you remember we used to run weekly webinars on, at Webinar Ninja. We would run a webinar every single week demoing our product and we show why Webinar Ninja can help people businesses as they try to create sales and sell their products and services via webinars. And we would send an email out to our email list inviting people to this webinar every single week. And some people would show up and not buy. Normal, right? Not everybody's gonna buy, right? But we have people that would show up 1 webinar, 2 webinars, 5 webinars, 6 webinars, 9 webinars, 10 webinars, like go to every webinar for like 3 months straight, and then they buy.
I never got that until now. It makes sense. They're just not ready. They weren't ready, but they still wanted— they were still interested, but they knew it wasn't the right time.
But I'm going to guarantee, this is a guarantee, guarantee they would not buy if I never invite them to the webinar every week.
Or if they didn't continue to build that relationship, because in a way, those webinars were a way for you to build trust. That's what you always said. And it was a way to continue to nurture that relationship. And they felt like, okay, when it is time, Why would I go anywhere else? Because I've already formed a sort of attachment, a relationship with this brand, with this business, with this person.
But I easily could have had the attitude of like, oh, all these people didn't buy. They went to the webinar last time. I'm not inviting them again. You know, these guys are losers. I don't want to deal with them. No, like, no, they're just not ready. My job is to give value. And when they are ready, they're not gonna go shopping around. I trust Omar. I've seen him on 12 webinars. Right? I've gotten so much value from him. There's a law of reciprocity that kicks in. They're like, you know, if I'm going to buy a webinar software, it's going to be from this guy because he gave me so much value week after week. And you just got to keep on inviting people to an opportunity to learn from you, to grow from you, have that conversation, to see the value of your products and services. And they just, they eventually bought because I kept on inviting them. It doesn't cost me anything to invite them and to have an open mind. And actually, it was actually kind of fun. I don't want to name this person by name because maybe it's a little bit embarrassing for them, but like let's call him Greg. You know, Greg used to show up like it's Greg on the chat again. Hey, Greg, welcome back. Da da da. And like Greg is not a customer yet, right? But Greg was like I knew so much about Greg. Yeah, you know who I'm talking about.
I know who you're talking about. But Greg was great.
Yeah, and and it's just good to have ally in the chat and in this context of a webinar. But this is the point: you have to keep on inviting them. And the funny thing is is that A lot of people lose a lot of sales because they don't follow up. And just to go back to the webinar example, we used to always teach that, you know, when you run a webinar for people, one of the low-hanging fruits in terms of making sales is the post-webinar emails, the emails you send after the webinar. Say, hey, we made this offer. Maybe you didn't see the offer, you left early, or you didn't attend the webinar. You're watching the replay. This is what the offer is. There's 24 hours left on the offer. There's 10 hours left in the offer. Those follow-up emails that happen On average, 30% of all sales came from follow-up.
Hmm.
And it's not— I didn't just say, oh, they didn't show up, that means they're not interested. Oh, they didn't buy after the webinar they're on, they're not interested, forget about them, I don't want to bombard them. People are busy. People sometimes just need a little bit more time. Maybe they need to ask their wife or their coworker or their boss if this is okay. You know, there's so many things that can happen. Your job is to serve. Just serve, serve, serve, serve. And then when people are ready, They'll buy. By the way, thanks so much for joining us here on Q&A Wednesday. We have an upcoming episode that I'm really excited to share that we recorded recently. It's called The Top 5 Mistakes When Creating and Selling a Live Event. Nicole and I have run a lot of live events. We've learned a lot of hard lessons. We made every single one of these 5 mistakes. We want to make sure that you don't do this. And by the way, if you run a business, you're going to run a live event. You're going to run a professional development day. You're going to run a Christmas party. You're going to do something with your team. Even if you don't do it for money to sell to customers. So make sure you subscribe so you don't miss that episode. It's going to be one of my favorites because there's a lot of funny stories, pain and anguish that's shared. But at the same time, I went through that so that you can benefit. So make sure you hit subscribe so you don't miss it.
You mentioned the word bombardment, and I think there could be something cultural there that it could be a difference. I feel like that's an Australian thing. Like we, that sense of like, I don't want to bombard people. It's a bit of a mindset and therefore you don't follow up. And I've got example that actually happened to me the other week. But I think in America, possibly you don't even have this thing of like, I don't want to bombard people.
Well, the easy cure to that, if you feel like you're a burden to people, by the way, most of the people that are on your email list, they chose to be on there. Like they signed up for your newsletter, they signed up for some sort of freebie, maybe they signed up for a webinar, maybe your client asked for more information. That's why you called them. Like you didn't choose this. You didn't just like cold call them, most people. They have chosen to be contacted. If you feel like, oh, I don't want to keep on following up, maybe it's too annoying, you can literally just have a PS line or a line in the bottom of your email and say, hey, I just feel like I want to make sure I help you in any way I can. Even if you don't buy, I want to make sure I could support you. If you don't want to get any more emails from me, you can unsubscribe or just let me know. I'll stop emailing you. Or otherwise, I'm going to keep on following up and making sure that I take care of you. Like, you can just have a one-liner if you want to, if you're worried about that.
Yeah, in an email, that's so easy. And if they unsubscribe, that's your message. That's clear. They don't want to be followed up with. So the example that I was referring to was there was a membership club here in Sydney. I'd gone in and inquired. I received, and then nothing happened at the time of the day when I went a few months ago. I got a call randomly as I was driving. And it was someone saying, it was one of their salespeople saying, oh, does this sound familiar? You inquired about a membership at this club. It took me a while. And I said, oh yeah, it is familiar. And I was literally getting into the car park and it was not the right time To finish the phone call, right? Because I'm trying to get into town to get my keys and the reception and all that. And I said, can you call me back in 90 minutes? A couple of weeks have now passed and I haven't received a callback. Do you feel like it's a fail on that business?
1,000%. 1,000%. I mean, there's no reason not to call you unless they didn't hear that part. But I mean, they should call you in 90 minutes because that is somebody who's interested. That's somebody who wants to learn more. And that's a good example of what I was saying. Like, you're a busy person. And when When they call you, you actually have an easier way for you to figure out like, hey, can you fit into my schedule? And they should make it easy for you to have that sales call, not the other way around. You don't just cater to their needs. The business's job is to serve the customer. Yeah.
And I guess the reason I said that a bit about the culture side of things is because I felt that hesitation in the salesperson that they were a bit embarrassed that they were following up and that it wasn't the right time. And I was like, would your answer to that be just Just get over it. Like, I've actually said, call me back in 90 minutes. I've given you a specific timeframe. So would you say like—
Yeah. And it goes back to all the episodes we did about sales and what I learned from my dad. Your job in business is to help people make a decision. And if they inquired and they didn't sign up, but they also didn't say, I'm not interested, they haven't made a decision yet. So you just have to have the mindset. I'm here to help, to be a consultant to this customer and to help them. Decide, and I want to give them all the information they need so they can be able to make a decision. Hopefully that decision is to buy and be a customer, and that's up to you as, as the person that's putting the offer together and selling this product. But that's your job. Your job is to help them. They asked for help.
Yes.
So Mandy, who asked today's question, I want to just kind of put this all together and kind of summarize. Most people don't ghost you because they think you're horrible or they don't want your service. They're just busy or Or they feel overwhelmed, or it's just not a right fit for them right now. Maybe they don't have the budget. Maybe they switch strategies, and that's what the business their business needs or their life needs. So you just need to make sure that one you follow up, two you make it very easy for them to be able to understand the value and what they need to do to get the value from your product or service so they're not overwhelmed. They understand the first steps. This is why, like you know, even with the $100 B program, we have like an orientation video. The first thing they see is like, "Hey, this is your first step. This is what you got to do." So people don't feel overwhelmed. You know, this is how you choose your track. So you have to make it easy for them to understand that achieving your goal is not going to be difficult. My job is to make it easy for you. Third, you need to make sure that you follow up even if they're not buying now, right? Things change in life. People's financial situation changes, their needs change. By the way, by you staying in touch, you also become a way to get referrals. They might be like, hey, I might not need your service, but I have a friend of mine I talked about when I had your conversation. They, they need your service. Let me give you their contact. So you're just top of mind. So when they are ready, or they can tell other people about you, you're just in their inbox. You're, you're, you're not forgotten about. You're a friend, you're a colleague, or you're somebody that they can trust. So just keep those in mind and just have a system. Even if it's just a schedule in your calendar, like I need to follow up with this client or this person, or I have to get on the phone and just follow up with somebody I was supposed to call in 90 minutes. I'm sure that person didn't put in their calendar. Call Nicole in 90 minutes. Otherwise, they should have done it, you know. So make sure that you have a system to address all 3 types of nos or ghosts, so that way you can capitalize on follow-up and make more sales. Again, great question, Mandy.
