Have you ever been ghosted by a company at the last minute?

That's what I'm experiencing right now, and that doesn't feel good

Ghosted when you are looking out for a new role - or while you are trying to close out a deal?

Either way, happens all the time. More in sales than anywhere else.

Yeah, it sucks either way, but context would be good here.

I really wish companies would not do this, though.

What do you mean? Verbal offer and then they vamped? Or are you talking about an appointment you set and they no called no showed?

It's an awful feeling, and it has happened to me before a few times.

It depends on the type of ghosting,so ghosting while trying to get a new job is something you could get a feedback about by communicating directly with the recruitment department as most probably they would have nothing to hide.
However, you may not be able to get any reasons for that ghosting from a prospect who no longer responds on a deal you're trying to close.
And both of em happen normally, but the latter one is worse as it gave you this feeling that your effort on that sale was worthless in addition to losing your expected commish!

Absolutely! Both in interview processes and throughout prospecting. Completely unprofessional. Some people just donโ€™t give a rip.

Go ghosted after 4 interviews including a preso. Never replied to me after and the hiring manager had the nerve to post about how badly he felt for reps interviewing in this market on LinkedIn and nlah blah blah.

To this day, 5 months later, I havenโ€™t been rejected. Maybe heโ€™s just really deliberative.

What's the longest a prospect has ghosted you before signing all of a sudden?
