I find that people are much more likely to respond if you make it clear at the end that you do expect a response. Having a line such as "I am looking forward to your response", or "Thank you in advance for your time", or "Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns", or "I would highly appreciate your feedback" does not put too much pressure on the receiver, and the politeness makes them more inclined to respond.
