Some advice... time to walk away from client?

[Blu]

Hi all,
so I have a potential client.

The service Im selling is $$,$$$.
They are a fortune 500.
I've presented the service to them and they loved it. Thought the price was excellent.

The VP in charge of this was going to look into who in his team would work with me on it. That was just before Christmas. Ive sent two follow up emails since and heard nothing back.

What would you do in this situation, time to call it a day and walk way?
