GhostNot for Consultants
Bill for your expertise, not your patience.
High-value consulting time deserves committed clients. GhostNot filters out no-shows before they reach your calendar.
Every hour a prospective client wastes is an hour you could have spent with a paying engagement. GhostNot adds a refundable commitment to your booking flow. Serious prospects don't think twice — the stake is returned when they show up. But the casual browsers, comparison shoppers, and perpetual reschedulers? They self-select out. Your pipeline gets leaner and your close rate goes up.

Built for how consultants work
High-value time protection
Set stakes that match your hourly rate. A $100/hr consultant can require a $50 commitment — enough to signal seriousness without creating friction for genuine prospects who already value your expertise.
Prospect quality filtering
GhostNot's commitment step naturally filters your inbound. Prospects willing to stake money on a meeting are 4x more likely to convert to paying clients, giving you a built-in qualification layer.
Professional reputation dashboard
Track your show-up rate and reliability score alongside client metrics. A strong GhostNot profile signals professionalism to new prospects — your track record becomes a competitive advantage.
Flexible cancellation windows
Configure grace periods that match your business. Allow free cancellation up to 24 or 48 hours before the meeting, then enforce the stake. You define what counts as reasonable notice for your practice.

Frequently asked questions
Will this scare away legitimate consulting prospects?
The design ensures the opposite. Prospects who are serious about hiring a consultant expect to invest in the relationship. A refundable stake is far less than your hourly rate, and it signals that your time is valuable. The commitment model means only committed prospects make it through, which naturally improves the quality of your initial meetings.
How do I handle enterprise clients with procurement processes?
GhostNot supports multiple booking tiers. You can require stakes for individual prospects while offering a different flow for enterprise contacts. Many consultants waive the stake for referrals from existing clients or for prospects who have already signed an NDA or engagement letter.
Can I use GhostNot for paid discovery sessions?
Absolutely. Many consultants charge for initial consultations and use GhostNot as an additional attendance guarantee on top of the session fee. The stake and the session fee are separate — the stake is refunded on attendance while the session fee is your compensation for the meeting itself.
What payment methods do clients use for the stake?
GhostNot uses Stripe for secure payment processing, supporting all major credit and debit cards. The stake is placed as a hold on the client's card — not an actual charge. If they attend, the hold is released and they're never charged. This makes the process feel low-friction for prospects while still providing real commitment.
