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

What I'd do is treat each enquiry as a (possibly very small) project. I'd also have a checklist (because I'm into them at the moment, but also because it's the sort of 'every one is exactly the same but they're all different' task that I find checklists suit well). So I'd have something like... Date of enquiry: At work, I'd probably have a link on the desk top (if I got a lot of them). ...I think I'll go and draft one NOW for the band I work with. :D Steve » POSTED IN:
