When should I give up on waiting for a response?

I've been waiting for a response to my email for over a week. Should I give up?

It depends on the context. If it's a job application, it's common to wait a bit longer. But if it's a simple inquiry, following up might be a good idea.

What if I follow up and still don't get a response?

If you follow up and still receive no reply, it might be best to move on. Consider it a sign that they may not be interested.

How many times should I follow up before giving up?

Typically, one or two follow-ups are acceptable. If you still don't hear back, it's usually best to focus your efforts elsewhere.

Is there a way to phrase my follow-up to increase my chances of getting a response?

Yes! Keep it polite and concise. Mention your previous message and express your continued interest. A friendly tone can help!
