susandennisDear Business People.
If you have a service or product to sell and an email address or web email form you use to 'please contact me for more information'...
FORGODSAKE answer your fucking email!!! If you can't handle email appropriately, then just do not offer it as a means of communication.
If you offer a phone number, you bust your ass to make sure that if no one answers the phone then there is a message receptacle and you know how to retrieve those messages and you check for new ones religiously, don't you?
And if you use spam traps, make sure you know how to use them correctly. It is not ok to use the following sentence: 'I'm sorry, your email landed in my spam folder and I didn't see it'.
It is very insulting and very lame and says you are an idiot and makes me wonder why in the world would I want to buy any service or product you have to offer.
Sincerely,
Your almost customer, Susan
p.s. Please do not misunderstand me. There are lots of instances where I would be happy to be your customer even if you don't offer me an email address OR even have a website. BUT, if you do, I expect you to know how to use it and when you don't, it pisses me off.
