    Top tips for maximising and managing time

    Our members say: 

      •  “It’s important to manage expectations. If you reply to a client at 9pm they are going to expect that all the time. You need to set some guidelines”.

      •  As a professional, you are doing clients a disservice in the long run if you reply so quickly that you don't give their query the full thought it deserves".

      • As a way of managing expectations, I put 'please be patient upon my return' on out of office emails. There is no problem with politely asking clients to give you a bit of extra time if you have been away from the office".

      • "Think carefully about how long it will take you to reply to a query from a client. Add a day to your self-imposed deadline and then exceed client expectations by beating the deadline you gave them".
