Clients Keep Ghosting Me After Pitches — What Am I Doing Wrong?

Card image cap

Hey everyone,

I run a small marketing/PR agency and work mainly with brands and influencer campaigns for One year and already my network reached for round +20 Clients& +100 Influencer, content Creator .

Lately, I’ve been facing the same issue over and over:
Clients seem interested, we discuss budget and timeline, I send a professional proposal… then they slowly disappear.

No clear “no.”
Just silence.

I’ve already stopped oversharing ideas, I don’t give free strategy, and I try to stay structured and serious. Still, no big improvement.

Sometimes I feel like my ideas get executed later by bigger agencies, just at a higher price.

So I’m honestly trying to self-reflect:

  • Is this normal at this stage?
  • Am I missing something in sales/closing?
  • Is it about credibility, authority, or something else?
  • How did you deal with this when growing your agency/freelance business?

Would really appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or tough truths.
I’m trying to improve, not complain.

Thanks in advance! ????
