    Design firm emails you out of the blue because someone recommended you and asks if you can send them your portfolio because they might have some work for you.

    You send it and then don't hear back.

    Do you:
    Follow up in a week
    Follow up in a month
    Move on
    Other

    • Move on - its like calling for 3 quotes when you need a plumber. Happens often. If you are really needing work, could be worth dropping a note along the linesrabbit
