hate to say it but I've been trained to assume it's a no unless I get a yes within a week.

I’ve only ever had positive responses with 24 hours (usually a lot less) or nothing at all. The nothings are usually not a surprise.

I always ask potential employers to walk me through the process they need to follow to make a decision on me (visualisation = realisation ?) and also ask for quick feedback (but not with any BS about competing offers).

I think this shows them you take their offer seriously and have plenty of experience of the hiring process, so maybe you’re less likely to get messed about ?
