In an effort to increase productivity and efficiency, I limit myself to checking email only a few times a day. This approach hopefully results in shorter lead times with more focused and creative work.
I will try and respond to your message in a timely manner. However, if you need an immediate time-sensitive response, please don’t hesitate to call me.
Why it works.
It turns a slow reply from rude into a choice, and gives you a way around it.
The series
Automagic: nine automated mails done right.
- An order mail that knows it is software.
- A shipping mail with a story.
- A person, the day after you sign up.
- A newsletter that unsubscribes you.
- An autoreply that manages expectations.
- An autoresponder that says no, kindly.
- A personal assistant that asks first.
- A cold sales mail with a bet.
- A no that still sounds like a yes.
