Building Relationships one Assistant at a Time

Laughing all the Way to Work

Like you, I list the new assistant as not only a contact but a definite resource for future references. As you previously stated, this is a great way to not only meet new people but you can expand your list of contacts to include the new assistant.

If I am told that I should have it in the next few weeks, or can expect to receive it in a couple of months, that doesn’t really help me with my follow up as it is not a definite date. I can only guess when I might get it. I would prefer they say you will have it by March 4th. That I can track. Dates are important. 411 Look Up 411.ca

I dont mind being referred to as someones assistant. My all-time favourite however is colleague.
