To call or not to call?…..

Acme is a ridiculous company to deal with. Just ask Wiley E. Coyote. :)

Why does the line from ‘Cool Hand Luke’ (1967) come to mind??

“What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate??”

;-P

All communication is repeated sense covid 19.

Catch 22 Brutus.

He needs to call with a pretense, then err on the side of not calling enough. For example…

Hey Bob, this is Brutus. I’m updating my contact information, just checking to make sure this is still the best number to reach you. By the way, some of my clients are concerned that they don’t hear from me often enough, is that the case with you too?

If calling too much, Bob will let you know.

You need to be more cozy with your customers, Brutus.

which is it, I’m confused…

Damned if you do …

The Boss. A simple man with simple solutions who didn’t do HIS job by finding out what the communication issue was when talking to the Acme Rep. Management is 90% of all corporate issues and NOT the employees…..

Communication is the cornerstone to productivity. Come on chief! Yelling is not Communicating!

Acme has a tea cozy account ? I thought they were strickly anvils and explosives.

There’s never any middle ground with Mr. Veeblefester. Or many other bosses for that matter!

Wait – so, the company that’s complaining about communication is the one that fails to explain their problem??? I think perhaps Brutus should get a pass on this one…

Feeblevester is an idgit!

No communication there

Send them a 20 page satisfaction survey. That ought to shut them up.
