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:

''yes daddy, I'll make it happen just for you!!!''

“Fuck off” is always one i like to throw in there once we get to about 3-4 email turns
Glad I’m not the only one
I hate it when people say thanks…
WE ARE NOT THANKFUL FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF COMMENTS!!!!!

"Aight cuh"

Sar do not redeem the client’s colour palette!
"Bet, let me cook" usually worked
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.
