The best thing you can do for yourself, your customer, and your colleague is give a precise date.
“I’ll have it to you by noon Thursday.”
“We’ll have this podcast wrapped up by 7:20.”
“Someone from our customer service team will get back to you tomorrow, at the latest.”
Setting a date guarantees urgency, shows you care, and holds you accountable.
