You can lead a prospect to a revolutionary SaaS solution, but only if he picks up his damn phone.

Hey Brett, is that you? You said you'd get back to me over email, but now you don't answer my calls.

Why can't we be friends?

I mean to be fair, the last thing I need when lost is to pick up a random warranty and risk talking about my car warranty. Shit I would probably intentionally get lost to never hear from those fucks again

Hi CoorsKing, I'm following up on your request for information about your accident in *crackling noise*

“Hi what is the best address to reach you at to discuss your cars warranty further?”

“IDK man somewhere north of half dome. If you see a moose, you went too far.”

Hi sir, I'm calling from the mountain lion preservation society. Would you like to adopt a mountain lion today?

If not, I regret to inform you that they're already behind you.

I wouldn't have answered either. I have a good call blocker so unknown calls don't come through. 🤷‍♀️

I feel that the guy though actually got the calls but just chose to ignore them, he was missing for 24 hours as well *deceased*

Damn it, I can relate to this guy as I had been through this once, not on mountains but another country where I had to use sign language as there were hardly anyone speaking English.

I have been there once or twice with a dead phone, always a nervous time.

Simple solution I cant remember where I am stealing this from. Change your VM to give approximate area where you are lost.

Thats far too pragmatic though so ignoring all phone calls is way better

Ain't no smooth brains here, this is wrinkly brain thinking.

That is fantastic, also why the hell weren’t the rescuers leaving a voicemail if the voicemail wasn’t full.

but they did! They also texted!

Clearly the issue was the lack of a cold facetime.

Probably should have sent the lost hiker an email hoping they are well.

They forgot the classic - 'I hope email finds you positive and testing negative.'

Hahaha that is so real at this day and age. I block any call I don’t know, always.
