GhostNot for Sales Teams
Demo no-shows are killing your pipeline. Fix it.
When 30-40% of booked demos never happen, your pipeline is fiction. GhostNot adds a qualification signal that separates real buyers from casual browsers.
Your SDRs spend hours personalizing outreach and booking demos. Your AEs prepare custom decks and research accounts. Then the prospect doesn't show up. No email, no reschedule, just silence. GhostNot changes the dynamic: prospects place a small, fully refundable commitment when they book. Those who attend pay nothing — the stake is released automatically. Those who ghost your team forfeit the stake. The immediate effect is fewer no-shows. The deeper effect is a cleaner pipeline — because willingness to stake even $10 is a stronger intent signal than clicking a Calendly link.

Built for how sales teams work
Intent qualification at booking
A prospect who places a refundable $15 stake is categorically different from one who won't. Use stake completion as a pipeline qualification signal alongside traditional scoring. Your CRM data becomes more predictive when every booked meeting represents genuine intent.
Team-wide dashboard
Track no-show rates across your entire sales team. See which reps, territories, or lead sources have the highest ghost rates. Identify patterns — maybe enterprise prospects never no-show but SMB leads ghost 40% of the time — and allocate resources accordingly.
Flexible stake by deal stage
Set a minimal stake ($5-10) for initial discovery calls to cast a wide net, and increase it for follow-up demos, technical deep-dives, or executive briefings where your team invests more preparation. Match the commitment level to the resources being deployed.
CRM-friendly booking links
Generate unique GhostNot-protected booking links for each rep or campaign. Track which prospects completed the commitment step in your existing CRM workflow. The stake status integrates into the lead record as another data point for deal scoring.

Frequently asked questions
Won't asking prospects to pay a deposit scare them off?
It's not a deposit — it's a fully refundable commitment that costs attendees nothing. In practice, high-intent prospects don't hesitate because they plan to show up. The prospects it filters out are the ones who would have ghosted your team anyway. The commitment model means fewer total bookings but dramatically higher show-up and close rates — meaning more revenue from less effort.
How do we implement this across a team of 20+ SDRs?
GhostNot supports team accounts with shared settings and per-rep booking links. An admin sets the default stake amounts and cancellation policies, then each rep gets their own protected booking link to share with prospects. The team dashboard shows aggregate and per-rep analytics. Setup takes about 10 minutes for the whole team.
Does this work for inbound leads booking demos on our website?
Yes. Embed the GhostNot widget on your demo booking page so inbound prospects complete the commitment step as part of your existing scheduling flow. This is often where the highest ROI is — inbound demo requests have notoriously high no-show rates because the prospect's urgency fades between booking and the meeting.
What about enterprise prospects? We can't ask a VP to stake money.
You can disable GhostNot for specific accounts or lead segments. Many sales teams only enable stakes for SMB and mid-market inbound leads — where no-show rates are highest — and exempt named enterprise accounts. You can also set the stake to $0 for specific bookings while still tracking commitment as a data point.
