You had a great call. The client seemed excited. They asked for a proposal… and then? Crickets. 😬

In this episode of Sippin’ Matcha and Helping You Make More Sales, Brooke and Scott break down one of the most common reasons proposals stall or get ghosted: surprises.

If your proposal includes new problems, unexpected solutions, or pricing reveals you didn’t talk through first—you’re setting yourself up to lose the sale.

Brooke unpacks the exact moment trust begins to erode—and how to turn proposals into a natural, no-drama next step instead of a deal breaker.
