You might think nobody wants to work with you. Your contact form might just be broken.

If you haven’t had an email enquiry for some time, you might be sat there thinking nobody wants to work with you. The opposite might be true. Broken contact forms are something I see far more often than I’d like to admit.
It’s an easy fix. Go to your website, fill in the form, submit it, and check the enquiry reaches your inbox.
If nothing arrives, your form isn’t working and you need to speak to your web developer. Immediately.
If it does arrive, congratulations. Your form works. We’ve ruled out the comforting explanation, and the reason you’re not getting enquiries is something else. That’s a harder conversation, and it starts with why your website isn’t getting enquiries.

When did you last fill out the contact form on your own website? Probably a while ago, I imagine. You might be sat there right now thinking that nobody wants to work with you, that you haven't received any email inquiries for quite some time. Actually, the opposite might be true. The thing I see far more than I would like to admit is contact forms not working on websites.
And there's an easy fix. Just go over to your website, go to the contact form, try filling it in, and see what happens. If you fill it in, you get no contact response, that your contact form is not working and you need to go speak to your web developer, like immediately. If you fill it in and you do get a response into your email, then you know that your contact forms are working and it's just that you're and you're getting no business. Win.
