When your key contact in Private Equity goes silent, it can feel like hitting a brick wall in your professional network. Here’s how to handle the situation:

• Follow up strategically: Send a polite follow-up email after a week, highlighting the importance of your query.

• Leverage mutual connections: Ask shared connections for insights or introductions to other relevant contacts within the firm.

• Diversify your network: Build relationships with multiple contacts across different firms to reduce dependency on one individual.
