Working with Dayna

I am a firm believer of setting clear expectations at the beginning of the process and maintaining open communication throughout. Therefore, I am providing the following information about working with me.

Communication Hours

I allocate the following times each day exclusively for client communication (emails, phone calls, and meetings):

• Monday:        1:00PM – 2:30PM EST
• Tuesday:        1:00PM – 2:30PM EST
• Wednesday:  1:00PM – 2:30PM EST
• Thursday:      1:00PM – 2:30PM EST
• Friday:           1:00PM – 2:30PM EST

In an effort to maximize productivity and maintain a healthy work/life balance, I generally do not respond to emails or phone calls outside of the office hours listed above. 

Phone Calls

I do not answer unscheduled phone calls. My experience has been that productive conversation requires not only an agenda, but also undivided attention. Therefore, all calls must generally be scheduled 24 hours in advance and take place between 1:00PM – 2:30PM EST, Monday – Friday. 

Preferred Form of Communication > Email

I expect to communicate with you predominately through email for the reasons stated above. This ensures that all communication is in writing and easily referenced. I agreed to use reasonable and customary measures to ensure information and documentation remains confidential, but make no guarantee or promise as to the security of the information relayed.

To facilitate fast and efficient correspondence throughout this process, I ask that clients relay all questions/concerns to me in bulleted emails in the format below:

Hello Dayna,

Good afternoon! I have a few questions:

• Question 1
• Question 2
• Question 3

This format encourages clients to clearly articulate any and all questions or concerns. This format also forces me to provide direct, tailored responses. I generally respond to all questions within one (1) business day; generally, the same day (after 1:00pm EST).
