Description:
I sent the follow-up and heard nothing. What now?

That stings, and yeah, Iโve had people be warm in the call and then vanish into smoke. A promised referral isnโt real until thereโs a name, date, or intro thread. Iโd send one last follow-up with a 2-line ask and a deadline like โby Friday.โ If thereโs still silence after 7 days, move on - protect your time instead of babysitting maybe-yes energy.
Referrals die in inboxes. Send one short nudge after 5 business days, include the exact ask and a copy-paste intro line, then stop chasing if they miss that second window.
