I'm not sure why people have become so lazy.I have a small business of buying things I advertise online.I get probably 5 calls per week, but rarely any buys.No one leaves a voicemail, or texts. I even made a message at the end of however many rings "due to the amount of spam calls, calls with no message left will not be returned, alternatively you can text this number".Which is true, when you advertise your number you get a lot of spam.Despite this, people don't leave a message or text me, I have to text them, and 90% are people trying to sell me things I don't buy. I even have a list on my site of what I do and don't buy.Then texts just...fizzle out. I'll ask for another photo, a price, etc and they never follow up.I don't understand why I feel like I have to lead people by the nose to get them to sell me something.
