The clients who waste the most time are the ones who never say no
It’s not the people who say no that cost you time. It’s the ones who say “maybe” and keep you stuck in the middle.
They reply just enough to keep things going. No clear yes, no clear no. They don’t commit, but they don’t close it either.
So you keep it open thinking the deal is still there. That’s where the time disappears.
Saying no is easy, you move on.
“Maybe” just sits there and drags on for weeks.
One thing I found that helped was putting a clear next step on everything.
If there’s no decision by a certain point, it just gets closed.
Anyone else deal with this?
