📞 A number flashes on your screen. You’re in a client call. Or mid-report. Or grabbing coffee 20 steps from your desk.
You missed the call.
Call back.
They’re not available.
You leave a message.
They return the call – now you’re busy.
The topic?
An ISIN. A form. A minor clarification. Nothing urgent, nothing complex – yet somehow it takes three days.
This isn’t rare. It happens between colleagues, clients, and service providers.
Everyone’s available – just never at the exact moment. Effective Kommunikation in wealth management relies on clear and concise language. However, live calls require precise timing, context, and the rare ability to interrupt without causing friction. That’s where it breaks down.
The trouble with “Let me know when it works for you”
Eventually, someone sends the classic message:
“Let me know when it works for you.”
You reply: “Now.”
Nothing.
By then, you’ve had four missed calls and two “Can I just ask you something quickly?” chats – none of which solved the original issue.
Email: Quiet strength, better results
That’s when email shows its quiet strength. There is no pressure, no ringing, no “Can you hear me?” Just clear, written thoughts that wait their turn and allow space to think.
📩 In a field that values trust, precision and accountability, email isn’t slow.
It’s measured. It’s traceable. It gives people a chance to reply, not react.
🧠 Sunday school holiday thought
Not every message needs to be spoken. Some of the most efficient conversations in Vermögensverwaltung happen… without a single word being said out loud.
