Most phone messages in one day ?

What is the most phone messages you have ever gotten at one time?

Last Saturday I go thome to listen to my messages since I have been very dilligent about returning them all the same day they are received and i had - 36 messages on my machine.

All of these were new customers or existing customers wanting more work.


Out of those 36 calls I have already sold about 14,000 of landscape install work -- have another 7,000 pending and still need to get about 5 proposals done. 14 were for lawn maintenance. 4 were shopping and the other 10 I signed up with an annual contract for maintenance.

All of this while doing no advertising this year -- except soem direct amil which none of these were from.

Like they say -- When it rains it pours!

I hit twelve twice this week. I am getting out to 3 weeks of booked time now. Turning away the cheap ones for now ( I am sure I will regret that).

So hard to stay up with it when I have to be in the field working also.

I am braindead tired now. Running on sugar.
