This was shared with me, and I thought it was great. Who do you want to take that last pull of the cord and get all the credit?

good analogy......all it takes is one more call
 
Very good, enjoyed this, thank you. :D
 
So true! :D
 
Ooh, good stuff. Thanks!
 
Like! Thanks for sharing!
 
Good stuff .... but I spent quite a bit of time frustrated with my mower that doesn't start on hot, sunny days when my energy is zapped. On days I'm not doing much of anything and it's 60 degrees out, it starts right up!
 
Great article....thanks for sharing! Shared with the team. :)
 
I hate when they say they are going to call me back because I know that means they never will!

I've need to teach myself to respond with "Great! And if I don't hear from you in a couple of days, I'll check in. I know how busy life can get, I'm sure there are more important things in your life than the Pampered Chef lady" with a smile, of course.

See I've tried that with a few and they just respond "No, I'll call you" again!

I'd still call them anyway. And use the "It's my policy to keep following up until you let me know it's no longer necessary" line.

Well, in theory, at least.
