We all lead busy lives so it can be challenging to respond to everyone who comes our way. Be very careful when walking down this slippery path. The last thing you want to do is not respond to someone who could affect your business and personal live.
It is not a good idea to ignore people when they reach out to you. I know that we all still get telemarketing calls or calls from people who we don’t know. If someone asks you to respond, then it is a good idea to respond. If you can’t do it, then have someone you work with respond for you. The same approach should apply to email.
Not responding to people who you know can send a bad signal. It shows that you don’t care or don’t have enough time to include this person in your life. Either way, it will make you look bad.
You never know where any conversation could lead you so treat each call/email as a new potential opportunity. Staying in touch with people is very important so you need to have frequent interaction with people.
Do you have any stories to share as a result of you not returning someone's phone call or email? What did you learn from this experience?
