  Not arguing... asking....

  How do you handle the customers that just mash buttons?

  I just walked to take trash out of the office and the phone rings "Tech 
  Support", I answer it and it's someone wanting to get service.  I have 
  no idea why he chose Support.  Maybe he just thought he could get some 
  technical questions answered there better, maybe no one picked up the 
  sales line.

  These are the issues (amongst a few others) that keep me from ever 
  outsourcing.

  I don't want a customer to have to be transferred to be helped, and I 
  don't want to pay the per call fee to someone like SP or GTC for a 
  billing or sales call.
