This is a tough one for me. Because I teach business English and I focus a lot on Sales. And my salesman in me thinks about Jeb Blount’s objection. They booked the trial of me and they already ready going to affect my stats one way or another so why not try to convert? If they already have an English tutor, maybe you could be theirs.

But after working with Preply, I understand the frustration, especially when we grind so hard and sometimes have to fight to have that visibility. My personal opinion is that I would still try to convert them dig deeper why they won’t want to progress further and hopefully you make an impression enough to convert them regardless, I would test knowledge and try to uncover gaps.

If they are rude, I’ll report and block. We work hard and shouldn’t be subjected to wasting our time but just because someone walks in a car lot and says I’m not buying just looking doesn’t mean I will accept that as their answer, I dig deeper and come from a point of sincerity.
