Last week, I shared with you why some prospective employees will accept a job offer then back down at the last second. 

In this week’s episode of Crushing Chaos With Law Firm Mentor, I break down what exactly you can do about it. I share with you seven strategies you can implement right now to reduce the number of people who vanish after saying yes.

  • How to probe for real motivation 
  • The dangers of long lead times between offer and start
  • Why asking directly about counter-offers is a power move
  • How to create emotional “stickiness” that keeps people from backing out
