Scheduling the next interaction before the current one ends can significantly reduce the chances of follow-up requests being ignored. Common phrases like "just following up" and "just checking in" often lack urgency and can lead to being dismissed. Minimizing words indirectly suggest that the message is not important. To enhance the response rate, it is essential to utilize direct and actionable language in follow-ups, instead of vague requests that appear optional.
One of the easiest ways to reduce ghosting is to schedule your next interaction before the current one ends.
Language like "just following up" and "just checking in" may sound friendly, but it's indirect and can easily get dismissed as non-urgent.
It takes more effort to cancel a meeting entirely and more gall to blow past a deadline than to ignore an email.
Drop the minimizing words and swap vague follow-ups for direct, actionable requests.
