Setting a standard for phone conversations

September 20, 2008

Alright, I want to set the stage here and see what yall think. My wife and I are going to start doing this.

Let’s establish a standard rule for any phone conversations (cellular or otherwise) that if you get disconnected during the call, whomever initiated the conversation does the call back to re-establish the call.

So we don’t have that awkward, “Are they going to call me back? Should I call them?” etc.

Whaddya think? Let’s stop the awkward dance of disconnected phone calls!

UPDATE: I got all my family and co-workers doing it. It’s been great so far and it’s catching on with the Twitter family!

  • Have to agree with you on this Brad... it is always the one who called who should call back. Plus... the one who called should not click over when they get another line if it is not of dire importance.
  • That's definitely trickier because at that point you have different levels of contacts that you need to talk with at any given time.

    Sales leads, Mom, Wife, friend you haven't spoken to in 5 months. Difficult to set a hard and fast rule I think IMHO. :)
  • Agreed. Person who called calls back. Otherwise you are trying to call ea other at the same time and you get busy signals.
