Ghosting is not confined to the dating world. Ghosting, in the dating sense, is when a potential partner completely disappears from conversation and your life after a few dates.

They will vanish like a ghost after a few days of talking or texting and often cancel plans they made to meet – more than once.

The same thing happens in the work world and is especially pertinent in the sport industry. Here are five reasons why you keep getting ghosted on appointments:

1. You set the appointments too far in advance

2. You don’t have any engagement in between

3. You don’t hype up the opportunity enough

4. You didn’t send a calendar invite

5. You didn’t build enough rapport

All are simple and effective. Apply them today to see your show rate take off.
