What to Say Next: Freelance Follow-Up Flowchart

Tired of leads ghosting you after a pitch or proposal? Here’s exactly what to say (without sounding desperate).

What to Say Next is a follow-up flowchart designed for freelancers who want to stay professional without sounding pushy. Whether you’re waiting on a reply, got ghosted after a proposal, or heard “I’ll think about it,” this cheat sheet gives you the words to move the convo forward—or close it gracefully.

Includes:

• 1-page PDF (flowchart style)

• 6 real response lines to match common freelance scenarios

• Polished, non-cringey, easy-to-copy email phrases

Perfect for cold outreach, proposal follow-ups, or recovering ghosted leads.

Use it as your go-to when the silence hits.

🧠 If you want full messaging support (from first pitch to final payment), The Freelancer Inbox Pack + No Cringe CTA Pack are the perfect sidekicks.
