At various networking events in my area, I've met a couple business people who I think would be great to pitch my copywriting services to. Problem is, I can't seem to reach them!
So, what do you do if you've met someone who seems like a great lead, but are unable to get them on the phone to follow up and give them your pitch (for example, they're always in meetings, and they haven't responded to e-mail)? How many voice mail messages can you leave before you've crossed the line from persistent into obnoxious? Is there a certain point where you should just give up? There are several people I've been trying unsuccessfully to contact for weeks, and I'm not quite sure how to proceed from here.
Thanks!
