    Call... or Email?

    Too Many Meetings?

    Message Generator to Avoid Meetings

    Example message you can use:

    "Hey (first_name), Would you mind sending whatever questions you have my way here over email? You've been so great to communicate with, so I want to be 100% transparent with you - I have a personal belief that most calls/meetings aren't necessary and can really disrupt "work-flow" for both people (you and me). If a call is absolutely necessary, I agree it's a good idea to schedule one, but if all of your questions/topics can be answered & resolved over email, that is the route I try to go with first! Also, I hope the above paragraph comes across the right way - I never want to come across as rude. Just want to make sure we're each making the most of our time!"

    If you're receiving this from someone, this is their polite way of asking you if you're okay with emailing instead of jumping on a call/scheduling a meeting. Please don't take this the wrong way - emailing is often the best use of time for BOTH of you! And, let's be honest - you're probably not that big of a fan of calls, either...
