Because who has time for
Telephone Tag?
Let me explains how this works:
You call me Monday Morning and you leave a message
on my machine, (I can't call you back till
Monday evening),
So I call Monday evening and leave a message on your machine. Then you
call me back later that night or the next day or a few days later when
you have time to call, then I call you and leave a message on your machine or
with one of your kids who does not pass the message onto you...then you call
me and leave a message on my machine. By now, it is Thursday,
and you and I have spent about an hour on the phone trying to get a hold of each
other.... and I call you and leave a message on your machine and you call me
and leave a message on my machine....... and I call you and leave a message
on your machine and you call me and leave a message on my machine....... and
I call you and leave a message on your machine and you call me and leave a message
on my machine....... and I call you and leave a message on your machine and
you call me and leave a message on my machine....... What day is
it??? Well it could take as much as two weeks to connect with someone.
Not multiply that with all the other people you are trying to reach.
The average person wastes about 11 to 18 hours a year trying to get a hold of
people. Now multiply that by how much you make per hour to get a
good idea of how much you really waste. That is time you can never
get back...well until now, that is.
