I often meet with different manufacturers who can develop a product for me. These are usually on Zoom, sometimes just a call. I sometimes feel unprepared, because I am simply inquiring to see if we are compatible to work together. Many times, after the initial meeting, I’ll get ghosted, or eventually ghosted. I am simply not ready to JUMP IN and start signing & sending over thousands of dollars. I like to think it through, and really get a feel for them. I do not rush into it because I did that years ago and after a year of the inconsistency I lost $7,000. They ended up ghosting me totally. It does not help that I look pretty young on camera! I am in my 30s, but often get mistaken for about young 20’s. I want to sound and look professional, and be taken serious. I was recently ghosted after a nice call/meeting with a manufacturer I really wanted to work with because they’re one of the few places who can create what I want. I don’t want this to keep happening because it makes me doubt myself and there’s only SO many places I can keep meeting with and I’m almost exhausting all my options. If this continues happening, I think I’m going to at least work on a website/landing page and instagram even though I have no content or product to share.
