I was in charge of negotiating all local print contracts and headed up a group of what I think got up to 37 or 38 by the time I got burnt out and left. While the process for buying local print has many differences from that of buying traffic, the dynamics of negotiating are largely the same, so if I say that your approach is the problem, you can be rest assured that the problem does indeed lie within your approach. Without seeing the emails, though, I can't say for certain, so be a champ, x out the relevant data, post the emails, and we'll take a looksie. Otherwise we can all just assume that they ignored you because you asked them to 'hit you up on ICQ'.
