Hi all,
First time posting here (been lurking for a while), but was hoping to get everyone's insight:
I had queried a manager with my last script. He responded saying he enjoyed it, but was looking for more commercial material. I didn't have anything else at the moment, time passed, I reached out to him with my current script, which is more commercial. He offered to read.
I was polite. I didn't email on the weekend. Or after business hours. I'm not a crazy person. I'm a pretty nice dude.
I checked in after a month. No response. 3 weeks later. Still no response.
I know M. Botti and E. Blake had posted previously about being polite and such. But should it not go both ways? Obviously, this guy's not interested, and he's busy -- I get it -- but it would have taken him 5 seconds to type in the word, "pass," and hit send. Or "thanks, but no thanks." And I would have really appreciated either of these.
Is this the norm? Do most people just never respond back? Or only respond back with a pass when they see potential?
Thanks in advance.
