Does this only bother me? Am I the only one that believes that the call that you are on deserves all of your attention. When I have to be called back to take another call it simply says, "I value the other person more than I value you." Can you put a value on relationships? In our business this happens all the time. Generally, the other call is someone that may be new business. This is great new business means that you are doing something right. I ask, what about old business? We rush to the next call trying to be everywhere and please everyone but does this work? I would say it does not. Honestly, if this happens to me frequently from any one person I will cut them out of my business. I am not trying to sound selfish.
Recently, my best friend experienced tragedy, loss of a loved one. We cannot PLAN everything to go our way and never know when it may be the last time that we speak to that person. Everytime that you end a call with someone you should feel good about how it ended. The person on the other end should know that you value them.
The phone will always ring if you nurture each momnent with each contact. Your chance is not slipping away if you have a missed call. In fact, you may have lost your next chance if you take the call through. I urge you to think about this and remember that you never know when your phone will stop ringing so CHERISH THE POSSIBILITIES of the call that you are on.
