  • Short, Sweet, and Brainless.

    Just one from this morning.

    "Hiiiii, this is Raini, you just called me!! If you call me back I'll pick up the phone."

    Well, that is comforting. Usually when I call people I expect them to grab the phone and scream hysterically, flinging it out the nearest window. And, as per my pet peeves post, you are an idiot. My voicemail says - TWICE - to leave your first AND last name, the topic I called you about, and a number where I can reach you. Yes, if I press this button it'll usually tell me what number your call came from, but sometimes it's not the right number to reach you at and it doesn't always log the number to begin with.

    "Hiiii, this is Raini Cxxxx again... Just getting back to you.... thanks!"

    Ooooh, this time you managed to leave your last name! Close, but no cigar. I've made a note that nobody is to call you about this particular study again, as the client is being VERY particular about making sure EVERYONE in it is articulate, clear and concise in their thinking. And you ... cannot listen to a voicemail message. Sorry.

    Your writing style is reminding me of Gravekeeper. Fortunately your callers do not. Well... ok, they're all idiots. But at least they're well-described idiots.

      For a second there i thought this thread was about my ex. How silly of me.

      That's the SC attitude. They expect you to have the all magical "system" that automatically pulls up their information before they even finish dialing your phone number.

        I used to get those when I filled in for the automotive ads contract desk. "Hi, this is Joe, give me a call back ASAP." (click) Seemed like half the guys at the dealerships were named Joe, and the remaining ones were all John, Bob or Ray....

        Now maybe their regular sales rep would recognize their voice, but I needed a little more detail. I tried leaving a voicemail greeting asking for name, phone number and the name of the dealership, and that helped a little, when they bothered to listen.
        When you start at zero, everything's progress.
