Virtual Graces

Hey there, October!
Fall 🍂, pumpkins 🎃, candies 🍭, witches 🧙‍♀️, it's Halloween season.
Trick or treat.
Oh! Don't forget those creepy stories. Ghosts! 👻

Have you heard about ghosting?
No, it's not hunting those floating white things or being a ghostbuster.
According to NY Times, Ghosting — is when someone cuts off all communication without explanation. 🔇

Do you know that your client can ghost you too?
Scary. 😱

I hope it won't happen to you, but if in case it happens, here are the three things you can do:

1️⃣ Don't Overthink.
You may ask me, how can I? It's your hard work. Spent so many nights doing your tasks, but high anxiety will cloud your professional thinking. We still don't know yet what happened.

2️⃣ Send a calm message.
As mentioned in number 1, panicking will give you no result.
You can send your client an email asking how to proceed with the project. If your client is on social media, try to reach out. But do not bombard your client with your messages. You can make a follow-up after a week or two.

If there's no answer, it's time to proceed with number three.

3️⃣ Move on.
Lessons are best learned the hard way.
Please still email your client informing him/her that you are ending your services due to his no response.
Take that moment to reassess your policies and results, and brainstorm on what's next.

Have you ever been ghosted by a client?

The best is yet to come. Happy New Year! 🎉
