If You've Called Me Lately - It Wasn't Me That Chose that "CallerTune"!

By
Real Estate Agent with The Address Realty BRE#01299346

I have a funny story to tell you...and this is the best part of being ME. I may be prejudice about the Art of being ME but I find the part I like best about ME is when I get the "chuckles". Chuckles are those things that happen to you that any time you think of them, they make you laugh.

I have had a call into my client on a commercial building up in Mount Shasta. We have a perspective buyer and I put in a call to him to get in touch with me. He got hold of me yesterday and he said "WOW Jeanean that music you have on your phone is really something!" This is one of the little things in life that is fun for me. I have "CallerTunes" on my phone for clients to listen to rather than the sound of a phone ringing. I enjoy changing the tunes and customizing my client's experience. It is just one more little thing that I do to be ME. They are mostly classical with a bit of the Beatles (instrumental) thrown in. I try to put together a classy or universal touch for the music.

I responded to my client, "Well thank you Michael". I enjoy picking the songs that you hear. He moved on to discuss progress in responding to a possible offer. After I got off the phone.....I realized that I had not checked in on my dashboard to see current status of the "CallerTunes" and I remembered getting a text message from the provider about a new free "CallerTune". I began to wonder if things were as they should be in the world of ME. I asked David to call my cell phone so we could see what played. Well, I am not sure what played but it was not anything I would ever pick for my clients to listen to. My ears and head hurt from hearing what ever it was....perhaps we can call it a song. Is this a sign that the ME of ME is getting old.....I hope not....more of just mature or sophisticated in what I like to listen to in music? Let's hope.

Note of Caution: It is a real concern to me that this could happen. How can the Provider change my settings to over ride my custom settings. This should have never happened. I was on the phone last night and only got that it was a "glitch" and no reassurance that it won't happen again. I will be losing "CallerTunes" if it does. The not funny part of this is that I get irritated when I am forced to listen to music that is loud or is not pleasant for me. The music you choose says a lot about who you are as a person.

So then I got to laughing about Michael being honest with me and I so appreciate the fact that he was. If he had not made that comment and if the world did not love ME, I would have never figured out what my poor clients were being subjected to. I hate to think. My Broker called me the other night and I can't believe he did not say something to me. The Law of Allowance at work, I guess. I love him for it but please if I'm doing something that does not seem like ME....tell ME!

It would be hard to find fault with the Law of Allowance but please if you are my friend, you have complete permission to tell me when you have a concern. Friendship and love are based in the "Art of Giving Permission to Tell Me The Truth!" Gosh, I love life and I am still chuckling at my client saying.....WOW Jeanean that was SOME song you got there!

I'm writing Michael a note of thanks after this post.

Gotta love it. Dancing on a Wednesday and Loving it All!

I have had similar things happen, and end up scratching my head in wonderment.  At least you had a good chuckle over it.  lol

At least the song wasn't one of those foul rap crap tunes.  I had not heard of Caller Tune and I'll just stay away from that one.  Who knows, some may think you're the coolest Realtor® in town :)

Isn't it nice when they change things for you? Always great to get free stuff that doesn't match your style.

Jeanean,  I chucked reading this.  Thankfully your client did say something.  It's whacked that the provider's system had a glitch and did over ride your custom settings.  I have doubts about that being the case because of the text message your received. It is what it is ... we deal with it an move on with the chuckles.

Most of the time the music is enough to make you hang up.
