Hi [Name] — just checking back in on this. Since we had already discussed moving forward, I wanted to see whether timing changed on your side or whether there is anything you need from me to help you decide next steps.
Use this scenario when a client seemed interested, then disappeared without a clear reason. Get a follow-up that acknowledges the silence without sounding emotional.

Concise
Just checking in on this in case it is still active on your side. If it would help, I'm happy to answer any open questions or outline the cleanest next step.
Best for: Use when you need a short reply that keeps the thread moving.
Warm
Wanted to circle back in case this is still under review. If timing changed on your side, no problem. If it is still live, I can help you decide on the next step.
Best for: Use when you want to preserve trust while still keeping the boundary clear.
Firm
Follow up with a low-pressure message that invites a clear yes, no, or next step. If the client wants a different path, make the tradeoff explicit before you continue.
Best for: Use when the client is repeating the pressure or treating the boundary as optional.
