Pet Peeves
15
Extreme disorganization or the lonely weirdos that just keep booking meetings with you bc they want to spend time with you.
Omg they are the WORST
Lmbo!!
going dark mid funnel.....like WHY? we have been working together for a few months, and now you just stop replying?
we are two professionals trying to complete a job just email me and tell me you chose something else, or this got put on pause or what ever.
When ppl just go dark its soooo annoying!

100% this! It's like prospects and salespeople have all trained each other into terrible behaviors. Sales is shady and prospects are liars. Just be normal grown ups and tell the damn truth!
I find that all the time. Especially from companies, I have interviewed at, and the conversation was strong. And all of a sudden they start ghosting me. I MEAN it does not take a genius to respond to an email.
Oooo yeah during the interview process itโs even WORSE because you have so much riding on the decision that if they donโt get back to you itโs terrible
The guy who supposedly doesn't haven't time to waste on your unsolicited email because they get 200 unsolicited emails a day... But does have time to reply just to let you know they get 200 emails a day... Allegedly.
Agreeing on SOE and then changing it. And changing it. And changing it.
Lucy moving the football.

People who absolutely refuse to engage during a demo. No questions. All crickets. Leave the meeting going "wtf was that?"
Omg same.
They think theyโre playing hardball
ghosting me right when i start believing in the deal
Legal getting in the way...
And unnecessary procurement processes that involve WAY too many people and take FAR too long.

THIS! Especially when they tell you legal doesn't have to get involved in the buying process & then they pop up right as they were about to sign the contract
When I've got the PO and need them to advise me on something regarding production/delivery and they just go dark for weeks at a time.
when they respond to an email ending with a question, as:
OK
OK
lack of follow through from them
Signing the MSA and then taking forever and a year to send the money. Or sending the money and signing the MSA but then ghosting for weeks making it impossible to build shit out or set the kickoff call and make intros to CS and Ops
GHOSTING
Has to be ghosting. Selling in the Midwest, people dont want to hurt my fellings, but then I waste time doing nothing on a zoom
Men who think me being nice, polite, acting interested and literally just doing my job = opportunity to hit on me whether it be when we meet in person at a conference or sliding into my LinkedIn DM's.
Doesn't happen too often but when it does it's like duuude come the fuck on!
**These types of people are also probably the same guys that will come sit next to you if you're tanning alone at the beach and not leave you the f alone**

I hate the act of ghosting to me is inexcusable. I find people who do this incredibly unprofessional. I don't really care who they are, or how important they are. If you are having a busy week than say so. Or just set up an automated system. At least that way I know you are all tied up.
