May 26, 2008The PowerPhrase of the Week ~ Squeak
Joe promised to review Mary’s marketing plan, but it seemed to slip off his priority list. Mary understood he was busy, so after several reminders followed by waiting periods, she sent him an email titled:
- Squeak
The body said:
- I heard the squeaky wheel gets the oil so I decided to try squeaking at you. Can I get your comments in the next week or so?
She got his comments the same day.
People are busy these days, and that means you often need to ask for things more than once. Mary’s squeaking was a playful but pointed request that got the attention she sought.
