Tried to follow up with this new AM last week. No reply. Sent a quick reminder today. Nothing. Thought maybe they're busy, but come on. This ain't a one-off. Seems like ghosting is the new standard. How do you deal with these dead ends? Do I just move on or keep chasing? Frustrated AF trying to lock deals but getting nothing back.

Ghosted by AM again, need serious help now
Yeah, those days are long gone. Now it's all about the shiny new deal or client. Old school sales ethics are dead. Just keep your pipeline full and stop wasting time chasing ghosts.
Exactly Stoke, I've been there. You keep pouring effort into these dead ends and it's just draining. I've learned the hard way to recognize the early signs of ghosting and cut bait quick.
No point in wasting time chasing shadows when your pipeline's gotta stay fluid. Trust the process and focus on the creators who actually give a damn. That's where the real conversions happen anyway.
yEP, ghosting feels like the new standard now. It's like everyone got tired of playing the game honestly and just ghost instead. You gotta decide if chasing after the dead ends is worth your time or just pump the brakes and focus on the deals that actually talk back. Don't put all your eggs in one ghosted basket unless you're into heartbreak.
Been there, man. That frustration of hitting walls over and over, it's like banging your head against a brick wall, especially when you know there's money on the table but the other side just goes silent. It's all about managing your headspace and not chasing after every ghost. If they don't respond after a couple of tries, just cut bait and move on to the next. Nothing kills your momentum like pouring time into dead ends. I learned that the hard way in this game. Sometimes you gotta trust your instincts, recognize the early signs of ghosting and switch gears fast. No point in burning your energy on folks who aren't serious or just playing games. Keep your pipeline full of the active ones, keep testing different angles, and remember it's a numbers game. The deals will come if you keep moving.

Honestly, do you think ghosting is really the new standard or just the easiest cop-out? I mean, maybe it's more about the how we react to it. Everyone gets ghosted, but the real pro move is how you pivot and keep the pipeline alive. Chasing after dead ends just trains you to accept it as normal, but what if the better question is why are you even chasing if there's no clear signal from them? Sometimes I wonder if we're just conditioned to accept ghosting as normal because we're afraid of looking like we lost, but in reality, the winners are the ones who move on fast and focus on prospects who want to talk. Do you think ghosting is the new standard or just a reflection of how we're playing the game?
Ugh, ghosting sucks I get it. But real talk, do u think relying on AM alone is a good plan? Like, what if the issue isn't them but ur approach? Sometimes it's about testing different angles or even switching platforms. Have u tried reaching out to other networks or even doing some organic list building? Just throwing it out there, but maybe the problem isn't just the AM ghosting.

exactly, they just vanish like ghosts, no warning. best to keep ur options open and not get too attached to one. most of these guys are just shifting gears or dealing with their own mess.
Shifting gears or not, most of these guys are just slithering snakes. You think they do it for fun? They hide cause they know the second you rely on them you become a hostage.
ghosting is annoying but honestly I think some of yall are overreacting. It's part of the game, you gotta have thick skin. Relying on one AM is cope, but so is freaking out every time they go dark. Diversify, yes, but also get good at backchanneling and keeping multiple plates spinning. Ghosting isn't always malicious sometimes it's just their workflow or they got busy. Do the work on your end, build good email flows, get your backend tight. That's how you stay afloat when the AM vanishes. It's all about the angle and how you handle the fallout.

Honestly, I think ghosting is more a reflection of your vetting process than just the game itself. Diversifying is fine but if you keep hitting dead ends with AMs that ghost or go dark, maybe you're not asking the right questions upfront. Trust but verify, and watch their past campaigns or talk to other guys they worked with. If someone is flaky from the start, you're just asking for trouble. Playing the long game means doing the homework, not just throwing money at whoever is available. Sure, ghosting is common but it shouldn't be the default. If you're just hoping your AMs stick around w/o doing real due diligence, yeah you're gonna keep getting burned.
