Outbound Phone Calls-why is this a problem? How do we fix it?

Elise,

Great post. At the end of the day consumers buy from people they trust. Price has never been the main reason for a purchase just a ticket to the game. Continue to do the great things you do that encourage people to go the extra mile to buy from YOU!!
