How to chase somebody online.

On 11 August 2009 with 4 comments

Recently I wanted somebody I knew online to do something for me. He has agreed to do this and it’s not unreasonable. Plenty of time has already passed with delays again and again. So I asked my Dad:

Dad, how do you chase somebody online?

My Dad works in management, so his entire job revolves around chasing people. His first response was:

Forget MSN, it’s a waste of time – go email.

Now I was rather shocked – I should think that if I could catch the guy online on MSN I could confront him with my super-scary schizophrenia att-I’ll kill you all! Interested in how to chase a person using email, my Dad expanded on his statement:

You see, you send a message to him asking him very politely to send you an update on the job. He will most likely not reply – not a problem, you just blind carbon-copy yourself the message. A week later, you forward the BCC to him with another additional “please send me some updates”, maintaining your polite speech. Repeat this and the person will notice how many times he has been asked, all of them being very polite – this is really embarrassing for them and hopefully effective enough to get them to reply and see results.

Just thought I might share that lovely technique with you all – if you aren’t already using it.

Oh, and Chris if you’re reading this, get back to work.
