Dealing With Income Fluctuation as SOHO

Read but no reply is normal. The buyer could be busy or your quote isn't their priority. My strategy: send one additional piece of information the next day, follow up from a different angle 3 days later, try WhatsApp after 7 days. Stay visible without being pushy.

Sample follow-up timing makes or breaks deals. Send tracking immediately. Confirm arrival. Ask about test results after one week. Check if adjustments are needed after two weeks. Many orders die during sampling because no one followed up at the right time.

The first week after sending a quotation is the golden window. The buyer reads it on day one, forgets by day three, and it's buried by day five. Confirm receipt on day one, check for questions on day three, share a success story on day seven.
