Want to know the hardest part of my job?
Ghosting. 👻 (and it has nothing to do with Halloween, lol)
What does that mean? Well, let me explain.
It’s when someone reaches out wanting help planning a vacation. I spend a good amount of time on the phone with them talking through what they want, where they want to go, dates, resorts, rooms, flights, activities, etc. I share a lot of valuable information.
Then I go to work.
I research.
I compare options.
I price everything out.
I put together choices that actually fit what we talked about.
I send it over.
And then…
Crickets. 🦗🦗🦗
So I follow up.
Nothing.
I follow up again.
Nothing.
And eventually I’m sitting here wondering if they went on the trip, changed their mind, found something else, or decided to stay home forever….....
And listen, I completely understand that plans change. Budgets change. Life happens. Maybe you decided you aren’t ready to book. Maybe you found another agent. Maybe you just need more time.
And that's okay.
What’s ridiculously hard for me and my personality is simply never hearing anything back.
A quick, “Hey Kristie, we decided to hold off,” or “We went another direction,” is totally fine. I promise I can handle it.
Because when you initially reach out, you’re not just asking me to click a few buttons. I put real time, research and work into every quote I send.❤️
So if I’ve ever put together options for you and you decided not to move forward, please know I much prefer hearing back from you rather than being ghosted.
