Question about phone tag whats your limits???

JOCCO · Mar 5, 2010

PHONE TAG: You call and the person is out in a meeting or at golf etc. Over and over What is your limit?? Its worse if they don't return your call. I will put some pressure on the secutary/ phone person then go somewhere else if need be. What do you guys do? Seems to be the normal these days.

if i cant reach somebody after the 3rd time i take my money and go buy somewhere else, basic rule of being in business, if you have a company, during advertised hours of operation you need to be there running it, not out playing golf or dinking around, if you have to travel on company business or attend a meeting, there needs to be a designated person to handel your calls, this person needs to be fully able to sell parts, solve problems ect , playing phone tag to me means either the person doesnt want to talk to me period, or isnt all that interested in taking care of business, better to just go to his competition

One phone call. If they don't answer, leave a message. Really, it's kind of a moot point, because nearly everyone carries a cell phone today and can be reached no matter if they are at the golf course or where they are supposed to be.

I won't leave a message anymore-no one seems to return them anyway. So, no phone tag for me! I try to raise them on the phone, but after 4 tries I give up, depends on how bad I need to talk to them. Greg

No tag. If I don't get ahold of them the first time I don't leave a message. Everyone has caller ID now days. They know I called. I Don't wait around.

depends on the circumstances. If I want something from them, I try til I get them or decide it's not important. If they want something from me, I call once and leave a message. Call me and you'll leave a message or not get a call. Answering machine is the cheapest secretary you'll ever find and save you hours of unnecessary conversation.
