Lucky escape ?

Recently saw a recommendation for a course and thought it may help me as I have self confidence issues

Contacted the person (who had a half price offer on ) to get more info. Sounded good and the emails were so long that I got back. I had to speak to my husband as it would be a big spend. Also none of it was in person which I wasn’t sure about.
We decided we would wait and maybe do it in a few months and I’m still not 100% ready

I let the person know as she was asking for payment to devote the offer which apparently ended the next day. I explained thanks for the information but we wil wait
She never replied at all! I’m glad now as I was thinking the offer was good but I think it was rude of her and reading them back in the cold light of day it seemed a bit pushy that I had a time limit that day

Well, “thanks for the information, I’ll get back to you in a few months” basically means “I’m not interested” in most people’s books. It might have been politer for her to say “Sure, I hope to hear from you when you’re ready!” but did you really need that? Giving you a special price if you book tomorrow or by the end of the week is just s business technique - to you, this course might be about improving your self esteem but to her, it’s her livelihood, the goal is to covert interest into sign-ups.

I wouldn’t really expect the conversation to continue after you said you weren’t interested at that time. They had replied to you in depth so I don’t see how you had a “lucky escape” just because they didn’t reply to your rejection.

I just felt that it was disproportionate to send such huge essays then nothing and I hadn’t said never I’d said hopefully in a few months but I really did expect something back after so much had been sent before it just seemed a bit rude

I think you are looking for a reason to be annoyed when there is none. Yes, it might have been nice to get a one liner back but it’s not rude that they didn’t.
