Just Had To Laugh

[Poshspark]

I had an email enquiry last night at 10:30 I have been busy all day so I called the lady tonight at 7:55 and a man answers the phone, so
Me:I told him who I am and could I speak to Emily.
Him: Do you not think this is a strange time to call.
Me: I was a bit taken aback I said what time would you prefer me to call.
Him: Could you not call back tomorrow during the day.

Am I the only person who calls there customers in the evening?is 7:55 an odd time or is he an odd customer?
Don't think I will call him tomorrow.

I don't think it's an odd time to call. personally, I call customers between 9am-9pm. never really had any complaints

 

[DL electrician]

Admittedly the guys reaction was a bit OTT, but personally I wouldn't call a client at that time...I'd keep it within normal working hours.

But it's all about personal preference...plus getting the damn time to do it!

I find that it's more convenient to call on an evening, a lot of my customers work full time so contacting them during the day is difficult

My gut is move on

 

[Poshspark]

Yes but you can bet he would be the first to complain if you were on the phone when on his job.
I had a busy day so once you get home have dinner put the children to bed time runs away.

Try phoning at 7:54 tomorrow and ask him if that's any better?

Try phoning at 7:54 tomorrow and ask him if that's any better?

Or email at 10.30

 

[dan86]

what are you gonna do poshspark?

 

[Poshspark]

Not going to call them didn't like the way he spoke to me so really don't think I would want to work for him.
