How soon is too soon?

[RahKnee]

Hi All,
I recently contacted a buyer for a national level chain store to speak with them about placing a product I have on their shelves. They're not the first I've contacted about this specific product, but they are probably the best match as far as style and price point go.

I spoke to general representatives at their headquarters over the phone, and was referred to the specific buyer that I should deal with. I called this person and was advised by their voicemail to leave a message as well as email them. I did both. It has now been 10 days and no response.

I'm not ready to give up on this project just yet. How soon is too soon to contact them again without it coming across as desperation or harassment? Do I get on the phone and hound them until they buy my product, or do I wait a few weeks to see if they respond? What says the FastLane?
