In this episode we discuss how to deal with "almost-clients:" the ones who are so excited to work with you and then ghost, who are lukewarm and then go with a competitor, or whose budget is just a tragic mismatch.

Chat with us as we give you insights, tips, and discuss personal experiences that will help you handle your next rejection (it happens to all of us!) with grace & ease.Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/betterbranddesigner/Website: https://www.bettebranddesigner.com/Better Resources Page: https://www.betterbranddesigner.com/resources
