We will not be able to work with you
I've been to business meetings with many companies and people from many different sectors with varying levels of profesionality and revenues for years. In meetings, I introduce myself, tell them about what i can provide and how i can help them with their projects. Everything seems to go fine during the meetings, we are professionals, we put our cards about "what they need, what i can give etc" on the table. We seem to have a spoken agreement there. After the meetings i send my offer for the project.
And never hear from them again. I call them some time(a week or so) after i send the offer, they just say "we'll get back to you" but then, days pass by and still no response. This happens most of the time.
Why is this so hard to say "Sorry, we'll not be able to work with you"? What happens to the professionality we have seen in the meetings? I need to be able to get any kind of feedback from the meetings and people i try to do business, to improve my skills and styles and to see what i did wrong or right. No feedback means just a waste of time.
I guess i expect much from the people. Is this always the same HN? Any stories to share?
Any feedback is very welcome. Thanks.
