General Consultant Discussion

If you ask someone to email you to set an appointment and then they call and miss you and then you email to ask for a scheduled time and then they call again and then you call back and never can get them and then you email them again to pick a time ... At what point is it acceptable to tell the person to stop f**king around?

Wouldn't you think that the busier someone is, the easier it would be for them to understand why it's important to set a schedule so stuff gets done?

Maybe you should set an appointment to sell CRM to them.....

Why don't you just send them a meeting request? If they accept, then it's on the calendar. Easy, peasy.

Wow, @DebThomas I just heard someone use that phrase two days ago - Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy - and the other people in the group said, ""What?? Do people actually use that phrase?

@DebThomas What a concept!

Therese, @ChuckPeddy does ...

Jolly gee wizard!

I think that should be ""Golly, gee wiz"" @MarkChinsky.

actually I think it may be ""gee golly whiz"" or ""gee golly whizzers"" And it's all ""easy, peasy, lemon squeezy"" isn't it @ThereseLogeais (whatever ""it"" is) :)

I'm with Peter - I have a few customers where you send a request to meet and hear nothing for weeks. Invariably a month later someone emails with an emergency request or to ask why nothing's been done on their issue(s). On the plus side - these types of customers are generally poor no matter which partner they use. So when they leave you they don't go and become a great customer for someone else.

This particular prospect is really annoying the crap out of me. I sent him two times and instead he calls and leaves a message ""call back any time"". Funny ... because when I call back I always get his voice mail.

I use three strikes
