What makes Michael tick

01 / 08Writes to close the loop

A message from Michael is usually a record. When it restates what you agreed, who owns it, and when, he is not repeating himself. He is filing it, and he expects a line back that says it is filed.

02 / 08Reads silence as open

An unanswered message stays on his list. He will not chase it the same day. He raises it a week later, politely and in full, as a summary of where things stand.

03 / 08Plans around dates

Anything you give him with a date, he builds on. Anything without one, he quietly plans around without you.

04 / 08Asks once

He makes a request a single time. The second mention arrives as a status note, and that note is the sign he is concerned.

05 / 08Decides at the end of the day

He sends most at 6:20pm, after his meetings end. That is when he settles things, and a reply in that window lands on a clear desk.

06 / 08Takes a clear no well

'Not this week' costs you nothing with him. 'Sounds good' followed by silence costs you the next item too.

07 / 08Matches substance, not tone

He does not need you to write formally. He needs the three facts in his message to come back in yours.

08 / 08Remembers who confirmed

He keeps track of which people closed items without being asked, and it shows in who he brings in first next time.

Your style

01You reply to him in the register you use with friends. He replies in full sentences, every time, and the gap has widened rather than closed over eighteen months.
02You acknowledge about half of what he sends. The unacknowledged half is disproportionately the things he asked you to confirm.
03Your replies to him are fastest during work hours and slowest in the evening — the inverse of every other thread here, and he messages most at 6:20pm.

A sample dossier, on a work thread we invented. Michael is not a real person.

Quick check on the revised timeline from the 4th. Are we still holding both dates?
Did the vendor decision land on Friday? Happy to help with the write-up.
You've mentioned the renewal a couple of times. What would make it an easy yes on your side?
Still up for that intro to your team lead you offered back in March?
Read the doc you sent on the 6th. One question on page two when you have a minute.
How did the kitchen remodel wrap up? Last I heard the counters were three weeks late.

Every customer call needs a fresh reason to talk. Always have something to ask about with your customers.
