Pushing for an answer now will result in a no. Be patient and trust in the impression you made. It’s more persuasive than you know.
You tried everything but the direct approach so why not give it a shot? It won’t be nearly as off-putting as you fear. You might even get somewhere.
Rely on a third party’s counsel. This person sees more clearly than you and can navigate a tricky spot. One day you’ll return the favor.
You’re not good at sitting and waiting. It makes you fidgety. Indulge in a mindless activity while higher-ups make up their minds.
If a prospective client is still hemming and hawing after all the courting you’ve done then just walk away. This forces them to hop off the fence.
A decision you’re contemplating is too important to be made haphazardly. Look beyond circumstances and reestablish your hold on events.
