There should be a way for managers to stop the clock on response times. There are instances where its awkward to text back just to stop the clock.
For example: Salesperson says - "Thanks Joe, looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Have a great night." Then Joe responds, "Thanks. You too." Its strange to send more texts just to get the final word in.
I am requesting the ability for managers to stop the clock in these situations which are quite common.
