| Send the people who answer the phones to Customer Service training, or bring someone in house for it. If that does not work, then you really need to stress to your employees that the lack of customer service is impacting your bottom line, and it will start impacting theirs. Either start cutting hours for the problem employees, or just get rid of them. If the people answering your phones are that unreliable, perhaps a VM system that drops the VM's into an e-mail box for you to handle directly is in order. These can be had fairly cheaply, including systems that will rollover to your VM should your line be busy. Its better to have someone go to VM and get a real answer within 4-8 hours than to completely lose the business all together. I can't count the # of times I called Z1 to find a used part while doing the conversion on the convertible and got "We'll call you back in 24-48 hours" just to never hear anything back. I don't even bother anymore. I know Bernie calls someone there directly for such things and just ask him to tack my needs onto his orders.
