Here’s a simple rule of thumb:
⏳ 2 Weeks
If it takes longer than 2 weeks to reply, most people assume you’ve forgotten, ignored, or deprioritised them.
📅 2 Days
For most business emails, 2 days is a reasonable maximum response time. It shows professionalism and keeps projects moving.
🕑 2 Hours
For customers, prospects, urgent requests or important stakeholders, aiming for a response within 2 hours can make a huge difference to relationships and outcomes.
⚡ 2 Minutes
If an email can be answered in 2 minutes or less, do it immediately. The quickest way to reduce inbox stress is to stop small tasks piling up.
The reality? People don’t judge your organisation by how many emails you receive. They judge it by how quickly and effectively you respond.
If you would like us to assist with this response time and reducing your company’s workload, please contact us today regarding our email management service.
