Why you should ALWAYS CC someone

If someone else is cc'ed in then people feel pressure to reply as they aren't just ignoring one person, there's a whole other person expecting a reply. Even if that person is someone they've never met, or know of.

I don't think that alone can account for doubling the response rate.

Because in most of those mails it was mission critical that I receive the response. The process grinds to a halt if I don't receive response, irregardless of anyone and anything else. Both Alex and I were tied to the same process and action. The priority of it is unchanged.

This doesn't mean that recipients can't feel additional pressure to respond due to the presence of another party.

"Irregardless" is a double negative (and not a proper English word).
