How long to wait for conf call

tinyhumantoe · November 2014

I have a 10am conf call. These assholes stood me up last Thursday for an 11am call they requested. Asked for 2pm Friday call and I said I could do 215. Told me at 200 that was too inflexible lol. Scheduled today 10am.

I am in my car in the hospital parking lot waiting for their call. It is for a potential sale. DH is in good shape after a heart scare yesterday and we are waiting to be discharged but there is no reception in his room.

How long do I sit here? I'm thinking I should call them at 1020 and if they don't answer go back in with DH. Fucking fuckers.

I think your plan sounds like a good one. I think waiting 20 minutes is more than fair and probably more than I would do given they've burned you before.

I'm glad to hear your husband is okay! I hope he is able to leave the hospital soon.

Internal calls, 5 - 10 minutes depending on the subject and how much I care. Sales, 15 minutes. Your plan is more than adequate. Good lick with the sale and DH.

I usually wait 10 minutes before throwing in the towel. I think you've waited long enough!

However I was holding a training and the people (2) didn't show up after 10 minutes so I hung up and canceled the live meeting. Well one calls me 20 minutes past the hour and yells at me (apparently she called in at 1020). I was um the training was at 10, its 1025. The nerve of some people!

I hope your husband is feeling better!

THT, I am so glad your DH is okay! How scary! I"m here if you need someone to talk/ vent to about any of it. I know DH in the hospital well!

I say your plan is adequate as well!

Thanks ladies. The jerks called at 1045 as I was walking back in. Nothing like an hour long conf call from your car. I sold a machine out of it so glad it worked out. I am dreading having these people as customers, like... You have no idea.
