"I will call you in the next 30 minutes or do you want to do this over email?"
It certainly asks for time in the next 30 minutes, but you're free to do it async on a longer timeline.
- derefr 12y agoBut you have to do something in the next 30 minutes (responding to the email) in order to not have to do something in the next 30 minutes. There's no "I'm too busy for this" default (except not taking their call, I guess. That's probably what I would end up doing.)
- dspillett 12y ago> That's probably what I would end up doing. Same here. And I would treat it like any other cold call: if I have time I'll waste some of theirs, and if I don't I'll get them off the line quickly with no care for how rude they might think I am.
- korzun 12y agoYou are kinda overblowing this. Simply say do it via email and tell them to reschedule. Some people prefer the phone to get shit done faster and move on. YMMV
- derefr 12y agoWhat if you're too busy to bother reading the email in the first place? What if you signed up, and then instead of fishing out the confirm link, you got distracted and went off to do something else? Now someone's calling you and you don't know why.
- korzun 12y agoI don't usually field calls if I'm busy. I mean everybody has their own style of work. If you are in sales, this is standard.
