If i texted someone re: a business proposal and they didn't respond, should I text again and if so, how long should I wait to re-send?

Asked by jca2 (16825points) 1 month ago

My daughter works for a local business that gets very busy in the autumn, especially on weekends. We live in a small rural community
that gets lots of tourists, as we’re known for apple orchards, horses and lakes. I have something that I think they may like to sell. I texted her boss yesterday afternoon and introduced myself and told him what I have, asking if he may be interested. He hasn’t responded.

I am wondering if I should text again and if so, when.

I know that he may not be interested in what I have. I feel like he would probably text and say he’s not interested and maybe it was so busy yesterday, if he gets many texts, it’s possible that my text is buried in his feed. I’m not pushy and no problem if he’s not interested.

What do you think?

If you’re serious, call. A text message or email is likely going to be ignored even if it made it through spam filters.

I would wait a few days and then maybe call. People often don’t respond to texts in as timely a fashion as I would like and I agree with @Blackwater_Park that he might just have missed it.

I would also wait a few days then call. Or if your daughter works there, and its a small office, maybe she can mention it to her boss.

Hello everyone, the guy responded to the text yesterday, a day after I sent mine.
