I was on a conference call recently and someone asked the question, “Does anyone have any creative ideas for getting in to see someone who is consistently ignoring my voice mails?”
[Insert sound of crickets chirping.]
Whatever happened to creativity? Do we need to Google it to remember what it was? Are we so conditioned to play the voice-mail game now that the door toward new business is locked and we have forgotten how to beat the system using a little sales ingenuity?
