Follow-up plan + common mistakes

If the reply is not a date, re-ask for the date without extra detail
If they provide a date, confirm and document it for follow-up
If no response, move to next escalation step.
Don’t let ‘processing’ or ‘should be this week’ replace a date
Don’t repeat yourself endlessly—tighten your escalation with deadlines
