Isn't it "down pat?"

Ping them, follow up in person if possible. "The squeaky wheel gets the oil"

Please do NOT call without notice. Its very disruptive. Follow up email works, as well as pinging on Lync. If you get ignored its because it's not a good time, and I certainly would not be offended if someone nags gently.

Why is it disrespectful, OP? You can block some time on their calendar and indicate that you would like them to review something at that time, or discuss anything that you want to. Basically, lay everything out what you need from them. Give them enough time to take a look at all the needed information for them to able to complete what you want. It's like babysitting or coaching new hires. Managing up is still ongoing learning for me, this seems to work for me, may or may not work for you. Good luck!

How long have you been with the firm? You absolutely can put time on their schedule without knowing them. Unless you're trying to meet with Pierre. What exactly are you trying to accomplish by meeting with them?

Im like 8 months in as an analyst and I want to switch industries. I've already been emailed introduced by a manager and I sent a follow up email asking to put time on their calendar.

Thanks all. Update, I'm going to ping them today instead of Monday. Too eager.

Ok

I'll wait until Monday to ping. I emailed them this morning and they both had "Available" status.

Keep the request to 3-4 sentences max

I've got that down packed EY, thank you

"Down packed"?

Down packed = I understand. Any tips on how to contact a high level executive Director 1?

Old days: put the whole message into the line that they could preview on their blackberry. Now: same, then call em or text

Thanks D1, will do.

what kinda transfer you shooting for

Industry transfer

They're interchangeable PwC

Make it actions and put time on their calendar or call them anyone at their level's email is a battlefield
