Love the video Alec. I think answering machines are a waste of time unless you have a pretty big, very busy business. No one likes them, so what's the point? Lmao we all know Kev felt old when he put the definition of "phone book" on the screen😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that had me rolling. We all know what a phone book is, young and old😂😂😂😂😂 Your videos never fail to make me laugh
Hi Alec, I guess I am still old school but I always answer my phone with "Hi this is Owen" because before everyone had their personal phone permanently in their ear we all shared lines so you had to ask for Bob. I always when calling do the same thing "this is Owen from xyz company" This gives the called person a quick reminder of where they know you from They might have other contacts with the same name. Hi dear this is Owen from the dinner table, might not go over to well? The other thing I find that bugs me is when you visit someone's web site and all you get is a picture and "call us for all your fastener needs" I visited your site to find out if you even sell metric bolts before I waste my time calling you. Some companies get the E-commerce thing others do not. Take care Owen m (from the internet)
I'm the same way Owen. People want to know who answered and the company (mostly to make sure they dialled right). I still think this internet thing is a passing fad. It will soon be replaced by fast letters HA HA. A
Hope I'm around the kids say, what's a laptop? Our computer is on our wrist with a neural brain link. Did your generation have dinosaurs to grandpa? Kids, no respect. A
I honestly clicked on this thinking there was a new under water answering machine for divers 😂
Thanks Alec
If there was, would you answer it? I would and say, glub glub glub. Ha

Ha as long as it wasn’t for an extended warranty 🎉
The company I worked for changed the title of our receptionist to Director of First Impressions.
That is a great title.

Its quite surprising that no matter if it is 9am or midnight it seems that whomever I call is somehow experiencing unusually high call volume.
Funny, that happens to me at 1:00am also. Maybe one call per hour is high to them.

Irritating! Particularly since we all know it's BS!
How about "Please listen to all 9 options since they have changed recently"? REAL BS!!

I also had anyone that answered the phone to Smile, when they answered the phone. It Helps.
Sounds like something black rock would do lol
That's something many customer service people do, and successfully too.
