time deficit disorder
n.— «We all know about ADD—Attention Deficit Disorder. (Now what was I saying?) The larger problem, in terms of getting response to our communications, is TDD—TIME Deficit Disorder. Prospects, and often customers, don’t have the time to read our mail or our emails. Even if they did, they believe that they don’t have time to use the products or services we’re trying to sell them.» —“Seven Ways to Overcome TDD (and Boost Response Rates)” by Lee Marc Stein MarketingProfs.com Oct. 17, 2006.
