Have you ever had a client who was sincerely interested in your solution to her problem--and needed your proposal by a certain date? You jumped through hoops and presented a very competitive offer. She seemed pleased with your proposal, assuring you she'd take it to committee and get back to you in about a week. A week came and went with no response, so you diligently tried to reach her by e-mail, voicemail, and letters. You even convinced her assistant to try and help out. But still, no direct response from your client.
