You had a strong intro call and clear interest, but after the call the client stopped responding to next-step messages.
Client keeps saying they will get back to you soon
The client is not fully ghosting, but keeps sending vague delay messages without making a decision.
Client went silent after the discovery call
The discovery call went well enough to keep the opportunity alive, but the client disappeared right after. You need a follow-up that feels useful, not needy.
