Don't get me wrong. I’m not a Luddite. I love technology. If it weren’t for technology, I’d be the owner of a small marketing firm in southwest Florida serving local clients and hoping not to go out of business every summer when the tourists leave. Instead I have a national firm with clients all over the country.

That said, I urge my clients not to use technology to the detriment of human contact and customer service. The telephone is one key area where I believe this is taking place.

The automatic telephone answering system is an abomination that should be outlawed tomorrow.

I have occasion to place phone calls to attorneys' offices around 25 times a week. Here are circumstances I run into regularly (and lest you think I’m exaggerating, let me tell you that these are much more the rule than the exception). Let’s assume I am a prospective client.

An automated voice answers and tells me that this is the Smith Law Firm, and if I know my party’s extension, I should enter it now. If I don’t know it, I should consult the directory. I push the number for the directory and am urged to enter the first three letters of the person's name. First or last name? What if I don’t

Advance Fee Fraud, Does it Take a Fool?
International Scams and the new MethodologySo you've heard about the Nigeria 419 scam, and about the Russian and Philippine brides-to-be scamming American and European men out of thousands. You're street smart, and you're not going to fall for some foolish game. You won't be sending money off to Africa. You wonder, how can anyone be so foolish, to send thousands of dol

Customizing Unit Coins for Our Heroes
The first rule of thumb to remember when designing and producing a custom coin is that it is imperative that the customer and manufacturing work closely as a team throughout the entire process. This will assure the best possible product. A coin that the customer will be as proud to present as their staff is to receive.There are basically eight steps to creating a cu

Accounting - A Practical Definition
What is accounting?A simple definition is the recording of financial or money transactions. Not all transactions need to be recorded. Mostly, only business transactions are recorded, personal transactions are rarely recorded by individuals.For example, you purchase a book for $10. You give the book seller $10; you receive the book & a receipt for $10. More often th

regularly (and lest you think I’m exaggerating, let me tell you that these are much more the rule than the exception). Let’s assume I am a prospective client.

Use of Flyers for Fundraising Events
The use of flyers for fund-raising events for nonprofit groups always works well in a small community and it makes sense to print flyers for each and every fund-raising event that you have. It is important to find creative ways to distribute these throughout the community. Any flyer that you print should have a large logo on the front as well as boldface fonts, which state the loca

I know my party’s extension, I should enter it now. If I don’t know it, I should consult the directory. I push the number for the directory and am urged to enter the first three letters of the person's name. First or last name? What if I don’t know who I want? I am informed by the disembodied voice that I can hold the line (or press zero), and someone will help me. So I hold the line, and the next thing I hear is “You have reached Amy, the receptionist. I’m away from desk right now so please leave a message.”

Gee, I don’t want to leave a message for Amy, so I hang up and call back. This time I consult the directory and punch the number for the attorney. He or she never answers. I leave a voice mail.

I’m exhausted and frustrated and I’ve made two long distance telephone calls. (By the way, what is the number one complaint against attorneys nationwide? Not returning phone calls.)

You are in the relationship business. It is not possible to have a relationship with a disembodied voice in an automated system. Your clients hate it. Your prospective clients hate it. Everyone hates it. If you set out to deliberately annoy and offend everyone who contacts your office, you could not do a better j
