Nurture
Staying usefully present with people who aren't ready yet: engaging their posts, sharing something relevant occasionally: without pitching on a timer.
Distinguish a person who requested no further contact from someone who welcomed a later conversation. Record the actual request and stop current follow-ups where appropriate. Tags and knowledge notes do not create timed reminders or automatically restart outreach.
In practice
Record why the person is not ready, stop the current sequence if appropriate, and plan a relevant review date in your scheduling system.
What to check
A tag or qualification change does not create a reminder or a 90-day reactivation. A request to stop should be handled as do-not-contact.
