A few weeks ago, I saw an email in my inbox from a member of my sales team. I realized an appropriate response would take more time than I had at that moment. So I skipped it, planning to return to it later. The email quickly got buried, and after a week went by, it was forwarded to me again, with a note: “Wanted to make sure you received this.” This time, I picked up the phone, and after a five-minute discussion, he got what he needed.
