Just curious what others do.....

[sythai]

Well been set up doing my own thing for just over a couple of years now - and off to Thailand for a well deserved break soon, few weeks with no phone, paperwork, internet = bliss

The question is what do I do with my answer phone message:

Option 1 - leave as it is ".... this is Simon from..... sorry I cant take your call I'll get back to you on my return.."

Option 2 - change it ...saying I'm on my hols and give a date I'll be back.

What do others normally do ? I'm not going to be checking my messages till I'm back either.

Many thanks,

Sy

about £20-60 depending on call volume that month... (highest call stats on month were 87 calls, 67 been genuine customers with about 35 sales and i returned a gross turnover from them at £6.2k)

i average about 27 Genuine calls.. (you get junk and sales but they get binned off)

i convert every 6-7 calls out of 10 received into a job...!

Cheers Durham, was looking for something like this. Good to get a real world example.

Was just going to buy the wife a new mobile and divert all calls to her to answer but this seems a bit more professional.
