Once a potential client has initiated contact to a business, it's the responsibility of that business to call enough times to get the person, not just once and assume that is sufficient. It's not sufficient, in fact, it's rude and unprofessional.
WHAT?
Since when.
Too many people here take on airs of self importance.
You are owed nothing.
Not self-importance, just not interested in continuously calling back AGAIN to a number that's never answered.
How many times would you call back hoping to get an answer -- TEN?, Fifteen? I'll go somewhere else first, where I do get an answer and can BUY the product or service while you're still calling a dead end phone.
We never expect special treatment, just a call back - maybe more than just ONCE to actually do business. IF you are hard to reach on the phone, and want to do business, you need to make that effort. It's not the buyers fault you're unavailable, it's yours, especially if you make no real effort to reach a client or customer.
