Waiting to respond doesn’t usually result in a desired outcome.
When you wait to respond, you lose your place in the front of someone’s mind and priority list.
When you wait to respond, you actually deliver a signal that the sender isn’t important to you.
When you wait to respond, you’re sure to get bogged down with more emails, to-dos and requests you need to respond to.
A client of mine has a rule: Every email, phone call or letter gets a response within 24 hours.
The catch is that a response might be “Thanks” or “I’ll follow up on Tuesday” or “Approved.”
Something simple and direct, but a response, nonetheless.
There’s enough happening in this world that will bog us down on our pursuits. The least we can do is try not to be part of the problem for others … or ourselves by responding.
Stay Positive & Send A Signal That You Care
