Business Etiquette Anyone?

So, I am just going to do a little rant here. Last week, my posts were focused on the non-verbal communication of people who are leaders. Okay, so what about verbal communication? Or how about just communication PERIOD? As business people, isn’t there, or shouldn’t there be a standard for a time frame in which you get back with someone? I mean, if you’ve had a meeting, you follow-up, leave messages, and no one gets back with you….that’s just rude.

I think, in my world, that you should attempt to call someone back, who leaves you a message, within 24 hours. 48 at the latest (unless they call you on a Friday and you’re out for the weekend.) Even if it’s not communicating great news, at least call someone back and let them know. It’s so not cool to just leave people out there hanging.

**I do understand that sometimes people are busy and can let things slip from their mind. I am talking about the people who just ignore and make no attempt to connect after agreeing that there would be a follow-up.

So, my question to the Smaller Indiana community: What are some other business etiquette issues have you had to deal with? I think we would all like to know so we could try to avoid the madness.
