Ghosting and Rescheduling

Is it just me or are people more likely to reschedule and ghost meetings this time of the year?

This past week I've had like 6 meetings get rescheduled, and all my prospects seem to have their plates full.

How is it going for you guys?

Are you seeing an influx of meeting reschedules and/or ghosting?

Reschedules galore for me. I sell into the hospitality industry where 90%+ of hotels are understaffed in the U.S. so reschedules and cancels happen often. I shoot for at least 50-60% hold ratio.

It has been BRUTAL recently for me. Had a week where 10 out of 12 scheduled external calls were no shows

Oh, wow, that's a lot. That is brutal!

I had one reschedule - that's about expected.

Coming up on Rosh Hashanah which means a lot of schools have a day or two off, so kids are home at random, this coming week. Combined with start of school and kids being Petri dishes lots of parents have had to take time off to deal.

Good luck!

Haven’t had that many but more then usual for sure.

I’m hopeful, my manager and other reps at the company are saying Q4 is fun at my company…will see if it holds true even in this chaotic year.

Companies budgets are getting shrunk instead of expanded for the most part. People are worried about their own jobs. It’s kind of understandable but it still sucks

I’m in an Account Management role. Seen a massive uptick of no shows, cancellations and reschedules that’s worsening as the year progresses. Downsell and churn rates are through the roof as well, companies are counting every dollar.
