Out of Office Emails
I recently sent an email to a client responding to a nonurgent question. It was run-of-the mill stuff and I was not expecting a response. I was pleasantly surprised to get the following automated email:
“Thanks for your email. I’ll be out of the office facilitating the amazing Leadership BootCamp (TM) all this week. I will reply as soon as I am back in the office on Monday, March 17.”
Doesn’t that make you curious about what Leadership Bootcamp(TM) is and why it is so amazing? What a great little piece of marketing in a very standard piece of business communication!
When you have to be out of the office for a seminar, workshop, or event, why not make it an opportunity to promote that continuing education or business success to the people who want to communicate with you?
Oh, and if you are curious about Leadership Bootcamp(TM) you can contact Sylvia Taylor to hear all about it. I’ll be calling her myself on Monday when she returns.

Good advice! I will use that next time for sure!
