With the volume of requests you get as an analyst from Associates / VPs etc, how do you avoid spamming “Sounds good” or “Sure Thing” in response? I’ve tried switching it up with “Sounds like a plan” or “Makes sense”, but feel like these can sound either sarcastic or corny. What’s your go to confirmatory response? Some ideas off the top of my head:

As someone who writes the comments, the only suitable response is “yes daddy”.
Immediately call them on their cell to confirm receipt and chat through any questions I have. If they don’t answer, I leave a message with my questions and shoot them an email letting them know I left a voicemail with my follow-up questions. I let them know I can’t start working until my questions are answered to avoid “spinning my wheels” and then I power on the Xbox to play NCAA
Calling your VP on their cellphone any time they leave a comment is a great way to train Pavlovian response so you never have to address a comment ever again
Confirming receipt - will get these pushed through this [morning / afternoon / evening].
Do you actually set a time when you receive your comment? I never do in case I actually miss my own set deadline.
