Well Jennifer.....I cannot imagine any reason a rep would
have for not returning a call from a buyer wanting to buy!!!

I'll be happy to return your call anytime! ;-)

But...I also couldn't resist mentioning how many times I
have planners out there who send me RFPs that I return (on
time!) and then never return my calls when I try to follow
up! This is not counting the calls I make trying to find out
when you will be doing planning so I can be sure to not miss
out on that....so I guess this is a problem on both ends.

Maybe we are all just overloaded with voice mails, e-mails,
pages...... though that is no excuse when someone calls
saying they want to buy ads on your site!
