No Response

Automotive · 3 minutes

Intent: They asked for something and then went quiet. Silence is not a no; it is an absence of a reason to reply.
Objective: Give them one, once — then stop on a schedule you decided in advance.
Context: What they originally asked for, whether it was ever delivered, and how many contacts have already gone out.
Don't: Send “just following up.” Escalate channels without consent. Contact a fourth time because the CRM has a task open.
Next step: Deliver the thing they asked for, or say plainly that you'll stop and leave the door open.
Escalate: Cadence cap reached → the record closes to nurture. It does not go back to the top of the call list.
Measure: Reply rate by reason class. Contacts per reply. Opt-out rate.

If the timing has changed, tell me and I'll stop emailing. If it hasn't, the CR-V is still here and I'll hold it until Friday.

Every playbook ends in a conversation. A playbook without dialogue is a memo.
