Following up after an out of office

Hi, Baldy.

Sounds like a good time to nudge. It's been two months, right? Include the original email and the out of office reply.

Thanks, Chumplet. I did think maybe I should leave it a bit longer but with Chrimbo coming up and people being off work, I could end up leaving it until the new year.

I'll email them now.

Oh god, you had to say it didn't you?

Depends what they say on their site. If 3-6 months is their typical response time, two months is too early.

If they just got back from leave, they're probably swamped, so I'd give them a little extra time. If you haven't heard anything after three months, then nudge. The end of the year is when a lot of agents clear out their inboxes to get ready for Jan.
