What Is Email Ping Pong—and How to Avoid It

Have you heard about email ping pong?

It’s when emails keep bouncing back and forth… over and over again.

One question.
One missing detail.
One unclear request.

And suddenly, you’re stuck in a never-ending loop.

This happened to me once with a supplier.
I sent a quick message—but I didn’t include all the details.

Result?
5 emails. 3 clarifications.
And too much wasted time. 😅

Want to avoid the ping pong game?
✅ Be clear in your emails
✅ Include all key details
✅ Say exactly what you need or what action is expected

Clear emails = fewer replies, less confusion, and more done.
