"I'll call you next wednesday to hear how it went" this attitude is not appropriate because creating actionable steps is presumptuous if you're the one approaching. why do you think its okay for you to set some kind of schedule for someone

I don't think it's as unlikely as you suggest. Click an advertisement on Facebook, you'll see it redirected as Facebook registers it in a few milliseconds, but you'll have several seconds before the actual targeted site loads and can easily
