I’ve run in to this in the funding context, but even more often in the sales context. You really do wonder what happened; you imagine it’s a real reason; but you suspect it’s a non-reason like this.
Thx for the post. I will take a few more swings with a bit more confidence that I’m not necessarily harassing someone who wants to be left alone.
And I will continue to make the travel effort for in-person meetings, in which I am already a true believer - the nod, the glance.
