I'm wondering why some contractors reach out with unsolicited offers for assistance but then go silent when I respond with a real opportunity. I've experienced this on Nextdoor, where people sometimes comment on my posts offering help. Some offers seem genuine, but after I engage with them about a potential job, they often don't reply. What gives?

It might be that they got another job lined up and just aren't good about letting you know. It happens a lot, honestly.
Honestly, some folks are just a mess with their organization and really struggle to follow through. Can be frustrating if you've got a legit opportunity!
There are a lot of skilled tradespeople who are amazing at their craft but really struggle with the business side of things. It’s a common issue in many trades.
