Kansas City Real Estate Cell Phone Policy
Boy that sounded corporate didn't it? Well that wasn't my intention, I guess I just wanted to make sure you understand the importance I put on answering my cell phone.
Sometimes in Kansas City Real Estate moments matter! When I first got into this business and started thinking about my own policies and how I wanted to operate I thought about cell phones. Everyone has one...so why does it seem that every time I call another agent I need to leave a message?
This is really a pet peeve of mine. Yes, voice mail is great, but I hate waiting for the call back after you've left a message.
I decided that my own personal policy would be to answer my cell phone 99.9% of the time and I do. (This is not a personal invitation for all of you to test this policy *smile*)
Another thought.... How do you answer your phone? I think it's only professional to answer your phone using your name so the caller immediately knows that he reached the correct person.
How are you answering your phone?

Hi Fran-
I agree with you - answering the phone w/ your name is a good idea.
However - if I'm with a Client, I DO NOT answer other calls. It is extremely rude and makes the Client feel like they aren't important. Any messages I get are returned within an hour.
Ya know, I have to say that I do answer if I'm with a client. Who knows it may be something about the property you are on your way to show?
I understand your way of thinking..... and appreciate it!
Fran,
I generally try to always answer my phone, but like Marc, if I am with a client I do not answer my phone. As for answering the phone, I state my name right of the bat. I can't stand calling a place and not know who I am talking to.
