The Power of "I'll Get Back to You" 💡
Ever been caught off guard by a question at work—one you didn’t see coming, didn’t plan for, and had no strategy to answer? 🤯 Most of us have a natural tendency to start responding immediately, hoping we can figure it out as we speak. But let’s be honest—those responses often sound unstructured, filled with “maybes” and awkward pauses 😬, and, most importantly, they don’t add value.
Here’s a simple yet powerful shift: The power of "I'll get back to you." 🔄
Instead of scrambling for an answer on the spot, try this:
✔ Acknowledge it confidently – “That’s a great question. It’s not something I’ve worked on yet, but I’ll get back to you shortly.” 💬
✔ Give yourself time to process – Take a step back, gather your thoughts, and provide a well-structured response later. 🕰️
✔ Deliver value, not just words – A thoughtful answer is always better than a rushed, incomplete one. 🎯
Next time you’re in this situation, don’t panic. Just own it and say, "I’ll be sure to get back to you on this." ✔ It shows professionalism, confidence, and respect for everyone’s time. ⏳
