What You Should Do When People Don’t Return Your Message

One of the difficult aspects about our  industry for me is how often people don’t return phone calls, text messages or emails. It has taken me a while to understand that we can’t really understand why someone does not respond to our message. It is not necessarily a statement about the person not liking or wanting to talk with us. There are many reasons why messages are not returned. Although it can be frustrating at times, I also have learned that many of us have incredibly busy lives, and we have to prioritize who and how we respond to others.

Even though I have learned not to take things personally, still  when someone does not return a call, it can be frustrating. When people leave messages for me, I always try to have the courtesy to at least respond to them as soon as possible. Even if it is just to say that I can’t talk now, and to let them know that I will be back in touch soon. That is how I like to run my acting, modeling and workshop business.
