Doing It For The Kids

This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from Detective Jason Chase, aka Anonymous. They say:“My question is about professional 'ghosting'... spooky!I was recently in touch with an old acquaintance who now works with a big organisation that I have been interested in working with for a while. This person encouraged me to pitch for quite a big contract, chatted through the project with me on the phone and even read through my ideas and made encouraging suggestions before I submitted.But — I didn't get the gig.I was really gutted but assumed I was up against some tough competition. The acquaintance apologised, and told me that there would be further opportunities coming up really soon and also offered — unprompted — to give me some feedback on a call. Great, I thought!But when I replied to schedule a time to chat I didn't get a reply. A week or so later I sent a follow up message and again... silence!!I think this professional ghosting is becoming more and more common and
