When I'm not available because I'm at the table closing, phone w/client or potential client, meeting, or driving, I do not pick up the phone, and let it go to vm.
Sometimes I miss out on opportunities, but that's my choice. I don't let the calls dictate my life.
This has actually happened to me, and I did go outside the venue (was a birthday party in pub) to speak with the caller and advised I wasn't available that evening but was first thing in the morning. Boy did I regret that one! LOL. |
