LOL! Yep, proactive communications is a good way to "manage" expectations and boost customer satisfaction.

Always a good idea to reply to the customer that you got his file. E-mail is not always dependable. It's reassuring to him, and also gives him something to show his boss in case his boss gets on his case. "Look boss, I really did send it. See? They said they got it."

But expecting a reply less than 10 minutes after it was sent?

Although I think it’s important to contact a client as soon as you can, I still feel like ten minutes is a bit over exaggerated. It’s important to get back with them, but you shouldn’t drop everything to tend to an e-mail response.
