Why You Should Never Stop Pitching: Proof That Silence Doesn’t Mean Rejection


If you’re serious about turning your dream clients into reality, you need to hear this story.


Recently on Instagram, I shared a post about my journey with pitching—specifically, the time I pitched consistently to one of my all-time favorite brands, Boden. For a long time, I heard nothing but silence. No replies. Not even a hint of interest.


It would have been easy to give up. But I kept at it.


The Unexpected Email That Changed Everything

Fast forward a year. Out of the blue, I received an email from the very person I had been pitching to. They had been reading my emails all along! It turns out they were just too busy to reply at the time. And now? They wanted to book me for a job the very next week.


This wasn’t just a lucky break—it was a testament to the power of persistence and belief in your own value.


Another Reminder That People Are Watching

This week, something else happened that made me smile ear to ear. Lucy, from @indie.content, left a comment that brought everything full circle. Lucy used to work at Joules—the brand that gave me my big break—and she’s pretty sure I used to pitch to her back then, too.


Her comment was a reminder of something so many people forget: Just because you’re not hearing back doesn’t mean your pitches are falling on deaf ears. People notice. They take note. They remember. And when the time is right, you could be the first person they think of.


Why Most People Give Up Too Soon

I get it. Pitching can feel like shouting into the void. You send 10 emails, and when no one replies, you wonder if it’s all a waste of time. But here’s the truth: Silence doesn’t mean rejection. It often means they’re busy, their inbox is overflowing, or the timing just isn’t right.


But the fact that they’ve seen your name and work repeatedly? That builds familiarity. And familiarity breeds trust.


The Key to Booking Dream Clients

If you want to land your dream clients or see your work in magazines like ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, and Marie Claire, you have to master the art of pitching. It’s not just about crafting the perfect email—it’s about resilience. It’s about showing up, again and again, even when the response isn’t immediate.


Your dream clients are out there. The opportunities you’ve been waiting for are within reach. But you have to take the first step—and keep taking it.
