Hi -

Wondering how people handle terrible response time and ghosting.

I've been finding more & more people to be unreasonably slow in response and action. I've always thought that an acceptable response time was 24 hours in business, but I'm really used to minutes to several hours on a solid team. I'm seeing days and weeks even with vendors we've paid to do a job. Getting tired of strategizing how to get normal response time.

Even when the vendor needs something from me, like payment - I recently waited 3 weeks to get follow up on where to send payment on an invoice - I wasn't worried about the delay for obvious reasons, but bizarre!

Any advice on this & are others seeing this same lack of response? Thx for any input!
