  • 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 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 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.
