How To Maintain Proper Contact With Colleagues During Business Trip?

When you A business travel Some people will feel totally unconnected to you, while others may feel that you are not very much at work or at work. They will immediately answer the phone or reply to the text message on two occasions. Therefore, it is important to maintain proper contact on business trips, as we expect.

For example, when you are away on business, Colleague You will feel that you can only fight for fire if you encounter "big fall". If you don't want them to have such an idea, you should tell your colleagues, customers and other friends what they should do, they should call you or send an email.

"If not," said Suzanne Bates, President of Bates Communications. urgent Otherwise, they will not contact you. But you have to take the initiative to let them know when to contact you.

　　 Balance

Of course, you have to let others know when you will reply. Bates said, "if a colleague leaves a message for you, but you don't know when you will reply, they will always worry about it."

Yes, we have Customer You may feel that you are in service for 24 hours, but at the same time, you can't ignore your company and other customers. So you have to tell the client clearly that during the business trip, he is just your main. service You also need to focus on other things.

At the same time. You should also provide an important contact person with a way to always contact you, that is, a pager number, or a reminder number with a reminder function on the BlackBerry. RLM PR public relations companies CEO Richard Laermer said: "my colleagues can always contact me in case of an emergency, and my spare phone will continue to boot."

　　 Regular contact

As we all know, doing a lot of things at the same time may make you busy, especially when you are on a business trip. It's the same thing to keep in touch with colleagues, so keep in touch regularly instead of keeping in touch.

Bates suggests at least two times a day to contact company colleagues at nine a.m., ten o'clock and three or four p.m. If you stick to such a frequency, your colleagues will know when to contact you conveniently.

Another way is to set aside time for writing messages and leaving voice messages every day. Karina Goldrajch, chief marketing officer of GenMobi Technologies, said: "when I travel, I always leave half an hour in meetings to keep in touch with my colleagues."

And regularly meet with the principal colleagues on a business trip, remind the meeting on the calendar, and try to observe the time. Brendan Courtney, senior vice president of Spherion headhunting company, said: "even on business trips, I keep regular meetings with my subordinates once a week."

　　 Frequent calls

When you are on a business trip, others may prefer to send text messages, instant messages or mail to you instead of calling you. In fact, if you need to talk, try to communicate with the phone as much as possible, because the rush and work on the road, sending messages and writing mail is easy to make people feel tired.

So on business trips, Laermer and others who travel frequently are wise to choose to communicate by telephone. He thinks: two sentences on the phone are clear, and several messages may be unclear.

Another point is that you don't have to deal with insignificant information on business trips, which is why not instant messages are answered. So when a colleague sent a message to tell you that the dry cleaning clothes were sent to the office, you could tell him: remind me of such a thing.
