Months ago I had someone come to me asking for help in finding their Executive Assistant.
I found someone who fit their parameters and offered to introduce them, and then…

A couple of weeks later, after several emails, texts and messages, they replied in a text thread:
“Hey! I’m so sorry! I’ve been swamped…cue my hunting “
Cue can mean two things:
1. Begin.
2. Hold off.
I replied:
“No problem ****. When you say ‘cue’ are you asking me to hold on for a later date or begin?”

Later that day:
“****, Waiting on clarification for the ⬆️ “
🦗🦗🦗
A few days later, I sent an email.
A few days later, I left a voicemail.
A few months later, I sent a voice note.
Friday, I sent another email.

What they don’t know is that I will continue to follow up until they either get the help they need through us OR they let me know they got the help they need somewhere else.
Each time I reach out, it only takes a couple of minutes or less.
I’m assuming…
- They’re swamped.
- They desperately need help.
- We will eventually be the ones to make it happen.
What if I’m wrong?
It costs me some time and energy.
What if I’m right?
**** will thank me for not giving up and they’ll find the help they need AND it will provide a working opportunity for someone else who has the skills.
So the question is…
Who still needs some help out there?
