NO B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs 41CHAPTER 3 / HOW TO DRIVE A STAKE THROUGH THE HEARTS OF THE TIME VAMPIRES OUT TO SUCK YOU DRYTime Management, continuedI think I fundamentally disagree with most of the principles, and I frankly resent it when someone pulls one of those techniques on me. When I want to speak to a vendor, I want them to answer the damn phone. I think your book turned a whole bunch of people into inconsiderate jerks.Dan listened to me and since I was speaking with such passion, a small crowd gathered around us. Some of them gasped and everyone eagerly waited for Dan%u2019s response.Dan spoke: Parthiv, you can do whatever you want to do. It%u2019s your life and these are your clients. Your time and your relationships, are yours to manage. I don%u2019t judge. I just want to tell you what will happen to you and your clients if you follow my advice in the book.Yes, you can%u2019t call me on my cell phone at 8 P.M. You have to contact Vicky, book a time slot, and fax me a letter telling me why you want to speak to me so I am prepared for you. When you call me at the designated time, I will be there, waiting JUST for you with your folder in front of me, notes in hand, and my mind completely focused on your business. Now, tell me, DO YOU REALLY concentrate and focus on your customer and know everything there is to know about their business when they call you out of the blue and you are in the middle of doing something with your family or working with another client? Are they really getting THE WHOLE YOU when they get you? Does ANYONE get the whole you?
