<h1>Dealing with Unresponsive Clients</h1><p>If you sent a proposal and the client hasn't responded, or if you have a confirmed gig and the client is ignoring your messages about the playlist:</p><ul><li><strong>Pending Proposals:</strong> Don't hold your calendar forever. If a client "ghosts" a proposal, let it expire (if you set an expiration date) or manually withdraw the proposal. You are under no obligation to hold the date without payment.</li><li><strong>Confirmed Gigs:</strong> If the client has paid but won't answer logistical questions, send one final, clear message detailing the assumptions you will make (e.g., "Since I haven't heard back, I will plan to load in at 5 PM."). Arrive at the gig as contracted to fulfill your obligation.</li></ul>
