What are your biggest pet peeves when trying to comminucate with people (strangers) in a more or less professional manner?
In the last week I’ve had to phone abroad loads because people just don’t respond to emails. There’s even one woman I spoke to on the phone who was like “yes, I’ll send you this document in an email” and obviously hasn’t. I thought that MOST PEOPLE preferred emails to phonecalls (to complete strangers), or is that just an indie bedwetter thing? Makes me PROPERLY annoyed, it does.
Always speak to them or phone them. If you actually want to get something done that is. If you want to kick something into touch for a few days, then email is the way to go.
