Follow-up plan + common mistakes

  • If you get a vague answer, reply asking only for the scheduled date.
  • Never send multiple one-line emails in a row—if ignored, escalate instead.
  • Use CC/loop in decision maker if still unanswered.
  • Don’t add long explanations—clarity is the point.
  • If resolved, confirm in writing for audit purposes.

FAQ

It’s direct, not rude, when the facts are clear. Use after context has already been established in prior emails.
