I screened Meet the Press overnight and learned that many companies in America are still having a tuff go of it.
Economic recovery is never going to happen until America takes the byrd by the stick and begins to work. By that I mean , stay in the damn office , so that when somebody looking to purchase can get in touch with you. Now granted there are training meetings and so on, and understanding your customer is another. Case-n-point, had a 10:00 hours meeting, but had a tow run to tend to that didn’t get cleaned up until 10:30 hours. Called our sales rep at Cable One, had to reschedule for Wednesday. Okay fine as it is, but the same gal doing the sales pitching should consider that not every business is 8:00 to 17:00 hours. Some business’s do not have all together linked hours. Some like mine in towing, get called out on tow and recovery jobs that can last a few hours. Those selling to my kinds of operations, need to be flexible enough to reschedule a meeting later in the day. So that sales can be made. Granted many now have cell phones, but not everybody does. And a few loose the service due to high costs. Myself I’d rather apply the same amount of money to a someone answering the phone and getting in touch via mobile radio. That’s a subject for a different time, but it means if your going to be in business especially sales, for hell sake stay in the damn office to field incoming sales inquiries. That’s how we get the American economy going again.
My opinion I could be wrong.
