return to a topic or person · follow up
This gem is super handy when you need to revisit a topic, get back to someone after gathering more info, or just 'circle back' to a discussion point – without actually using 'circle back' because that's on the naughty list! 😉 It's perfect for when you need a bit more time or data before making a decision.
💡 **Pro-tip!** You can use 'loop back' with 'to' for a topic ('Let's loop back to that idea later') or 'with' for a person ('I'll loop back with Mike once I have the figures'). It sounds professional yet natural. Remember to actually *loop back* though, or you might look like you're just avoiding the issue! 👀
When would you most naturally use 'loop back'? A. 🗣️ To introduce a brand new topic in a meeting. B. 🔄 To indicate you'll revisit a discussion point or contact someone again later. C. 🏃 To suggest everyone should run a loop around the office.
