I’d also like to add that some aff managers don’t have access to their emails outside work hours (I don’t have a blackberry nor do I have outside access – not my choice) so some emails may take a few more days over the weekend.
…and being based where we are, the timezones really screw with productivity. A one-email-a-day conversation can take a week, so I do get annoyed if I don’t get a reply. It’s just another day delay.
That’s why I think it’s important to have phone details as well. It’s just so much quicker to discuss and finalize urgent issues.
Believe me, I hate making “cold calls” as much as you hate receiving them, so I don’t call anyone without a good reason. :hattip:
We’ve now started working in shifts here, to cover a 15 hour day.
