Do you always answer your phone, regardless of who’s calling you? It’s rare that I actually talk on my phone. When I do though, I generally know who’s calling me. Periodically, I’ll get a call from a number I don’t recognize at all. I often let these calls go to voicemail. If you really want to talk to me, and you’re not a wrong number or a scammer, you should – theoretically – leave me a message and I’ll return your call. That is the way voicemail is supposed to work right?

Or better yet, if it’s important, call again! Call back within the next few minutes and I’ll most likely answer if I’m near the phone.

Simple, right?
