Customer Experience Tip #1050
While e-mail comes with its inherent challenges as a communication tool, it can serve you well as a time buffer allowing you to gather your thoughts. Before you react to a message hastily, take a breath, take a walk, bounce an idea off of a coworker. You might just tend to respond … rather than react.
Excellent tip. While timeliness is important in responding to email messages, it should never be a race that compromises deliberation.
Very well said, Glenn.
