Client goes quiet after you send a proposal
You sent a proposal and the client acknowledged it, but the thread has gone quiet for several days and you need a follow-up that moves the deal forward.
Client says they are reviewing internally and then disappears
The client gave a plausible reason for delay, but now the internal review has stretched into silence and you need a reply that closes the loop.
Client says timing is bad and then stops responding
The client did not say no, only that timing was not ideal. Now the thread has gone cold and you want to reopen it without sounding like a hard sell.
Client ignored your last message
Your last message got no response and you do not want the follow-up to feel awkward. The goal is to restart the thread with a useful nudge, not a guilt trip.
Client says not now, maybe later
The client is not rejecting the work forever, but they are putting it off. You need to respond in a way that keeps the door open without hovering around the lead.
