Making the business more passive with a Petit?

@Waxman oh, yea, I guess it is. Sorry about that.

I’ve been doing this almost 25 years. I have felt the same but learned to leave my phone behind when I want a break. Only way I’ve dealt with the problems is hiring someone dependable. Not being a smartass but if you can please share if/when you figure out how to eliminate 80% of the issues.

I can second leaving phone behind. It is hard to unwind when you are constantly thinking in the back of your head that the phone is going to ring. I only bring work phone home on the weekends. I leave work at 5 so it is very unlikely their would be nay problems during those last three hours of daylight. It is great having weekday nights to myself and not worrying about a phone ringing. Very rarely does anyone have a problem, and if they do I call them the net morning when I get in and they are usually very happy for the quick reply.

I keep my phone on constantly. My wife said im
Way too nice. “They’ll be ok if you don’t call right back” are her words

Many of my customers already have my personal cell. The “official “. Customer service line is a google voice number. I COULD forward it to an employee or have it go straight to voicemail if I’m unavailable.
I always have it forwarded to my cell, much to my wife’s dismay

That’s a good idea. My wife makes fun of how accessible I am to any # I don’t know. Whenever I leave town going to start having call forward to manager It’s tough though. Sometimes I wish I didn’t give a lol

i have my cell phone on all the time. i get very few car wash calls. i had an issue with a damage claim recently that went south immediately so i blocked the #.

i have apartment buildings and i get far more calls/ texts for that business. having a multi-tenant dispute presently so i have 2 tenants blocked.
