Ghosts

For businesses

Being ghosted isn't just frustrating.
It's expensive.

Three calls, two meetings, a proposal, then nothing. No answer, no reply.

The people who don't buy from you have their reasons. Ghosts lets you hear them.

  • Verified buyers
  • Quality feedback
  • Your questions answered

Anonymous, not unaccountable. Buyers can verify their decision with a receipt, an invoice or the quotes they were sent, and we encourage them to. Every debrief shows whether it's verified, and you can read verified only.

What your CRM says
Closed lost. Reason: price.
What the buyer said
“Yes, the quote was a bit higher, but not by much. I'd have happily paid the extra. The other company just felt more professional in how they quoted and talked me through it.”

Verified buyers

Named? No.
Real buyers? Yes.

Ghosts verifies that feedback comes from people who actually went ahead with a business in your category. We independently verify the purchase.

The numbers

You know your cost per lead.
What are your ghosts costing you?

You track cost per lead and cost per sale to the cent. Most of that spend goes on buyers who never bought from you.

They're the gold. They're the only ones who know why it didn't land.

Your CRM has part of the story.
Ghosts tells you the rest.

Where did you lose them?

Were you on the shortlist? Or never considered at all?

  1. 1.Awareness

    In the market, never heard of you.

  2. 2.Consideration

    Knew you, didn't shortlist you.

  3. 3.Conversation

    Shortlisted you, never got to a real conversation.

  4. 4.Competitive loss

    You were in it. Someone else won.

  5. 5.No decision

    They didn't buy from anyone.

The lost deal service

They won't tell you why.
They might tell us.

You've both invested time. Close it out on a positive note.

Ghosts takes the awkwardness out of the last email you send. You get something valuable for the time you put in, and they leave with good things to say about your business.

  • Your link names your business. It never names the buyer.
  • No tracking. We don't record who opens your email or clicks the link.
  • Anonymous. You see what was said, never who said it.
  • Shared in groups. Nothing reaches you until at least 3 people have answered, so no answer leads back to one person.

How it works

From Lisa MorenoAnonymous

To Jason

Thanks for your time, Jason

Hi Jason,

I gather you've gone with another agent, and I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to meet with me.

We use Ghosts to understand why people decide not to go with us. It's anonymous, and it helps us look after our clients better.

If you can spare a couple of minutes, there's a voucher at the end as a thank-you, whatever you have to share.

Tell Ghosts what happened

All the best finding your new home,
Lisa

What a claim never buys

  • A buyer's name or contact details.
  • A better answer. A buyer can say they've never heard of you.
  • A delete button. You can reply, never remove.
  • Leads. We don't sell buyers to anyone.

What you ask us stays private. Your questions are never shown to a competitor.

Add the categories you serve. When a buyer in one of them shares a purchase, we'll ask if they considered you.

Quality feedback from careful buyers.
Not random opinions from keyboard warriors.

Ghosts hears from people who researched, compared and made a call. Every debrief is a conversation about a real decision, and the buyer checks it before you see it. No star ratings, no pile-ons, no drive-by opinions.
