Emailing and then calling … ugh!

It happened again today. Someone emailed about a matter and called a couple of minutes later. They started the call saying I just emailed you. They then proceeded to cover each point in the email.

What a waste of time duplicating communication.

    Hi
    As you have been in the game for many years, is there such thing as relief managers or locums?
    We are based in Queensland?
    Thanks

    Sue, relief managers have worked in our channel for decades. If you are a member of an association, they should be able to help.

    Tell the caller that you will read the email when you have time between time wasting phone calls, and if there is anything you feel is of interest in the email you will contact the writer.
    Wish them a good day……and hang up
