This is just a little note to tell you, you’re on my mind!
If you emailed me, I promise to write back to you personally, but it’s going to take a little time…I recently started feeling very overwhelmed, because I don’t have enough time to get to all my emails. I then discovered that an email is like a meeting. They take our time, attention and require our feedback. Just a few years ago you still had to phone someone & set up a meeting, to get someone’s feedback. But today we just visit our inbox, create a mail and there we go. Message sent. So instead of having physical meetings, we have many little meetings over email every day.
No don’t get me wrong, I really want to have a meeting with you, but the reality is, I can’t always fit them into my diary. Remember, I’m not a company, I’m just Christine. ( BTW I tried to use a PA for emails, but it just didn’t work) So here is the deal, I promise to answer every email, but it might just take some time…
So what am I saying? I looove receiving letters! I love receiving your notes! I love hearing from you, but please be parient with a reply, at the moment my time is divided between shoots, editing, blogging, emails and two new SUPER exciting projects!! (more to come about this soon :)
Oh, and if you’re on Facebook and you haven’t visited my FB page, please come around and check it out. You might just like it :) And if you like, you can even leave me a little note on the page.
aaaawww honeybunch. Just take a deep breathe… Good luck with the mails though x
Aarde land, sterkte Stien!! Dit is amazing hoe daai rooi sirkeltjie mens se tyd kan opslurp, maar soos jy baie goed beskryf, dit is baie belangrike coffee dates elkeen van daai en mini boublokkies van jou besigheid!
I stick to the 5 line rule when emailing.
It saves people time reading the emails and i find that if my email is longer than 5 lines, I’m probably saying too much.
Brevity is my aim for 2010 :-)
I have 25 template signatures > just to cover the stuff people most often ask for, when I email, I first quickly add my response (if needed) and then just add the signature (or add the signature and change it to fit the customers needs). Sure you are already doing that.
It is dreadful having that many emails to answer, thinking of you.
