Strategies for beating voice mail systems
How to get a live human being on the phone
Thanks to StudentTabletPC.com from the “Gee, I wish I had thought of this site” file comes this wonderful tool to beat all of the voice mail telesystems that you and I encounter on a daily basis. This is another reason with why us little guys are beating up on the 20th century giants. When I am out of the office our calls are routed to my cell phone, unless it is the middle of the night you’re going to get a live human answering our phones. I find that most small companies are pretty easy to contact. Yet, 20th century mega corp spends a ton getting customers and then puts you into the voice mail system from Hell . . . I just don’t get it. Then they wonder why we are eating their lunch.
