Default How long ......
Would be left before sending a follow up email to potential clients?

I was asked by 4 people yesterday about a mothers day offer an so far I've heard nothing back! I want to give them a chase but I'm worried that I'd come across as too pushy!!

Give it a few days. Not everyone has a chance to get back to you immediately. If I don't hear back from someone, I usually wait 3 - 4 days and send them a follow up email saying something like "just checking in; please let me know at your earliest convenience if you'd like to book your session." If I don't hear back, I assume they're not interested.

I wait from anything from 1 week to 2 weeks. After which I make contact by phone, email or any methods they contacted me. If they don't pick up the phone, reply to my emails after a few attempts; I'd take it as they're simply not interested any more.

I give it a week before I check in on them again. If they don't respond to my follow up then they didn't want to do business with me. No harm, no foul.
