Just a Quick Question

It’s never a Quick Question – it starts at 2 mins, goes to 5, then 10, maybe 20, and possibly ends at 30.

That’s not a bad thing; you need information, and someone can help you.

The Question cannot be quick because once you get the answer to the first part of your question, you’ll inevitably have more.

A better request, with the same amount of urgency, could be;

I have an Urgent Question (no time)

I need your help (see above)

Can you help (immediate, asking for your attention)

Do you know this works? (see above)

There is no value in rushing your questions, because you’ll never get the true answer you want – just a quick and easy one.
