Make Your Follow-Up Beyond Reproach
A familiar refrain, right? However, follow-up is essential in any workplace, whether you are self-employed and need to follow-up with potential clients, or you are a supervisor of a larger team looking for completed components of a project. It is often a tedious task, and one that must be completed keeping in mind the fine line between appearing as a nuisance and working pro-actively. Regardless, follow-up is often needed to move along small tasks, which are often parts of larger undertakings.
But one of the most important aspects of follow-up is keeping it meticulous, and not allowing any communications to fall through the metaphorical cracks. If your follow-up is beyond reproach and earns that reputation, should a miscommunication situation arise, your follow-up will prove that the miscommunication cannot be traced back to you.
How can you ensure the above outcome?
Keep records
The method to record-keeping is not the important part of record-keeping; systems can be tailored to your needs and types of work. The most important part of record-keeping is simple -- actually keeping a record of interactions. Mark dates of all types correspondence as much as possible. Whether you mark those dates on a pad, on your phone’s calendar app on a typed to-do list or a combination of some or all of the above does not matter.
Put it in writing
The phone call is not dead. Video conferencing has become a necessity. But if you can email, email! Be proactive following a phone call or a video conference and email a recap to all participants. If you’re on a team and sending a recap is “out of your lane,” write one for yourself that can be called upon if needed.
Save your emails
As a companion suggestion to the above, saving your emails will come in handy once you put all of your records in writing. Until you are absolutely sure that a project is completed, keep all related emails. Purchase additional cloud storage if needed – Google and Apple both allow users to purchase extra gigabytes of cloud storage for a minimal monthly fee. Make sure your email is available via your smartphone.
Utilize your calendar and reminder apps
Most smartphones and email services come equipped with calendar and reminder functions. If you need to follow-up with a customer or with a colleague, set an alert for yourself in whichever app works best for you.
Create a system of checks and balances – for yourself
One of the most basic tenets of U.S. government applies to business! If you keep a spreadsheet of emails that you’ve sent out on a particular project, save both the email and mark the date that the email was sent on the spreadsheet. Then, if your follow-up is questioned, the date written on the spreadsheet will tell you how to search for the email in your inbox so that you can present the very email that is in question.
The ability to implement and utilize a foolproof follow-up system is an asset to a team or to a self-employment venture. It is an essential, universal skill that is applicable to any line of work.
