The office was closed for the holiday but the phone was ringing, so I answered it. Actually, the phone rang three times while I was in the office for a short time today. The first two callers asked for their agents. Both already had their agents' cell phone numbers, so those calls were quickly dispatched.
The third call, however, was a property inquiry; and I answered several questions for them. They agreed to let me set them up on auto-notify and gave me an email address, as well as some specifics about their search. Now, THAT's what I call a productive phone call.
Because I decided to answer the phone when I dropped by the closed office to complete a few tasks on a national holiday, I might have a new client going into the new year. The callers, by the way, are from out of state, and they were in town visiting family for the holiday. They are serious about their search, and time will tell if they end up being my clients. It just so happens that they are from Flint, Michigan, where I was born, and I believe that we bonded a bit over the phone.
My hat is in the ring, because I decided to answer the phone's ring on a day when I just wanted to slip into the office for a few minutes.
