"This ONE phone call would've saved me 2 weeks of lost profit... 😠" HAVE YOU EVER LOST MONEY BECAUSE SOMEONE COULDN'T TAKE 30 SECONDS TO SEND I STILL CAN'T WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THIS. I HAVE A VENDING MACHINE INSIDE A HOTEL. ONE DAY THE MACHINE STOPPED WORKING, AND INSTEAD OF LETTING ME KNOW, NOBODY CALLED, NOBODY TEXTED, NOBODY SAID A SINGLE WORD. FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS THAT MACHINE SAT THERE, NOT MAKING A SINGLE SALE. THINK ABOUT THAT. EVERY GUEST WHO WALKED UP WANTING A DRINK OR A SNACK PROBABLY ASSUMED THE MACHINE WAS BROKEN AND WALKED AWAY. AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE MISSED SALES? I'LL NEVER GET THEM BACK. THE CRAZY PART IS, THE PROBLEM PROBABLY COULD BE FIXED THE SAME DAY IF SOMEONE HAD SIMPLY PICKED UP THE PHONE. EVERY LOCATION I WORK WITH COMMUNICATION MATTERS. IF SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING, LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY. A 30 SECOND PHONE CALL CAN SAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN LOST SALES. SO LET ME ASK YOU, IF YOU MANAGED A BUSINESS AND NOTICED SOMEONE'S VENDING MACHINE WASN'T WORKING, WOULD YOU CALL THEM? OR WOULD YOU JUST LEAVE IT SITTING THERE?
