Recommended reply
Hi [Name] — just checking back on the pricing I sent over. If the budget, timing, or scope changed on your side, no problem, but if it would help I can suggest a version that fits what you are trying to decide.
Use this scenario when a lead asked for your rate and then disappeared. Get a low-pressure follow-up that reopens the thread without sounding needy.

Use this when the search intent is "client ghosted after asking your rate how to follow up" and the client message matches this negotiation stage. It also covers searches like "follow up after sending rate no response".
Step 1

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
Use a low-pressure follow-up 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.
Use a low-pressure follow-up that invites a clear yes, no, or next step.
Use a softer tone when the client is still collaborative and the pressure looks like uncertainty rather than bad faith.
Re-engage the lead and surface whether price, timing, or fit caused the silence.
