Still waiting on that email reply? You’re not alone. 😩
You don’t want to be pushy, but you also need an answer. So, how do you follow up without sounding impatient?
You would write something like:
“I’m still waiting for your response.” → It feels direct, but it can also sound demanding and impatient.
✔️ Try this instead:
“I wanted to check in on the status of my request. When can I expect an update?”
✅ Keeps it polite and professional
✅ Gently reminds them without sounding like a demand
✅ The question nudges them to give you a timeline
A good follow-up is clear but polite. When you ask nicely, you’re more likely to get a reply—without annoying anyone.
