In my experience, the people at Maritz are very good at leaving detailed messages, when my phone goes to voice mail.
That's weird, because I've found the opposite to be true. For a company that likes to use the phone as much as it does, I'm surprised they don't provide more detail when they leave a message. I seriously got one the other day that said, "Hi CaliGirl, this is xyz at Maritz. We've got some shops available that are near you and I was wondering if you would be interested in picking some up. Please give me a call back and ask for Team X. Thanks!"
Seriously? I returned the call, but I felt like a dunce. "No, I have no idea which shop it was for, when it needs to be done by, what the proposed fee is, what location the scheduler was calling about, or any of the other pertinent details. None of those things were included in the message." That was when I decided to stop returning vague voicemails. When they
really need something done (i.e. when there's a bonus), they usually provide more detail.
Plus, Maritz has the annoying habit of calling to see if I want to pick up shops for base rate that are posted on their job board. No thanks. If I wanted that shop for the base rate I would have taken it. I take plenty at the base rate, what makes you think that one just escaped my notice? grr.. ok, vent over. I, of course, didn't say any of this to the (very nice) scheduler on the phone.
