Dealing with Inquiries
crcossel | Feb 9 2007
I am working on implementing GTD but one type of inbox item keeps holding me up. I am a photographer so a regulary (i.e.) daily inbox item I receive are inquiries. Either by phone or most often by email. Calling these inquiries (prospects) typically takes more than just 2 min so then it becomes an action. The problem is how to do that. I could put Call john smith However, since I don't actually know this person I have to go through all my inquiries (I get several a day) and find this person. I've tried "call inquiries' but that really is more than one action Here is what a typical inquiry looks like that is sent to me when someone requests information from my website. Full Name: Munirah Abdullabhoy Often the person inquiring won't actually give me the additional info Any ideas? 2 Comments

one addition to this that I forgot earlier. For the most part these are one-step actions. I call the prospect get some more information and set up a face-to-face meeting. But it doesn't always work that way: Also if I get voice mail I am not technically done with the inquiry but waiting for a response. I don't know how to treat those. » POSTED IN:
