Here’s what actually happens next. Agencies often go silent.

Most people think silence from an agency means they won. It doesn’t. We already covered what questions to ask — and how to ask them without arguing. Here’s what actually happens next. Agencies often go silent. Or they send a template letter that ignores your questions. Or they take action anyway. That silence isn’t a mistake. It’s avoidance.
