Your call is important to us...NOT!

I am a big fan of Seth Godin. One of his latest blogs is entitled, "Should you fire the voice mail guy". Check it out at this link. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/06/should-you-fire.html

Seth's blog got me thinking. I'd like to kick the person who invented voice mail in the groin. I hate it. Voice mail is an excuse to be rude. Forget all the voice mail gurus who say that you have not left a compelling reason to get a call back. Your voice mail wouldn't be full if you returned calls especially to the same person who has called you 3 times in a week. Call them back and say, "no thank you." How hard is that? Voice mail has made us lazy.

And for goodness sake, if you are going to have voice mail, I don't want to hear that you are out of the office for the Christmas season returning January 2nd. Hey knucklehead, its the summer. How lazy is that?

BB for now
