Transcript

Turn OFF your call screening feature if you work in sales! Do you realize the people that have that on their phone, you're making somebody audition to call you. And even if you're busy, let's say you're on an airplane and my phone is on airplane mode. Guess what Sheldon thinks. Oh, Matt's phone is on airplane. He doesn't see. No. He goes, uh, hey Matt, it's Sheldon and he has to talk through the voicemail. And then he thinks I'm listening to it in real time. Thinks I'm reviewing it and it makes him feel like shit. Okay? The same way it makes me feel like shit when I call people and I have to do that. So don't do that.
