Everybody knows that 99% of people (excluding the ones who may be on vacation) check their email a couple times a day. For some people, their email is open in front of them during their entire work day. Just to cut people some slack, you may want to think about something and not reply as quickly to certain emails, which is fine. That's why I like to go by my 24 hour policy; which I personally believe is plenty of time to think things through and type out a response.
Since I've been researching and trying to talk to different people and get quotes on wedding things, I've started to take notice that some people simply take forever to get back to me. I'm talking about 2-3 days or never. There are some people who automatically show up on my gchat, so I know they must've at least glanced over my email. Yet there still hasn't been a response, not even a sorry, not interested.
But with the way I see things, even if they reply back four days later, it just shows me that they're attitude with responding back is terrible. And you know what they say, if you can't trust them with little thing, how are you going to trust them with bigger things? (Quite biblical, actually.) We're living in the age of technology and I have to wait for a snail mail response? Come on now. Sorry, but you've lost yourself at least $1,000 in business because of your lagging and un-courteous response.
Yeah, who's the sucker now? Zing!
