Episode notes
Gen Z Bride Ghosted Venue For Not Answering Price
- Beth Fox ghosted a venue after they ignored her pricing questions and pushed a show round instead.
- She had asked for menus and rough pricing after giving guest count and flexibility, but the venue only offered tour times and no follow-up.
Immediate Tour Requests Create High Friction
- Many vendors still push tours or calls immediately instead of answering initial questions, creating friction that drives prospects away.
- Alan's secret shopping of ~900 companies found almost half ask for tours right away, causing drop-off.
Follow Up With Useful Value Not 'Just Checking In'
- Follow up with value, not generic check-ins; send helpful resources or event invites as follow-up touches.
- Beth values follow-ups that include open showcase invites, blog posts, or a clear CTA embedded in useful content.
