\nmanaging an accounting practice, the complete 2-volume set: 202 questions and answers: <\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

q:<\/strong> i try to respond quickly to my clients\u2019 calls and emails, but now they even call me at home. what can i do about this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

a:<\/strong> you told me you have an office and also give your clients your cell number to use. you also told me that you carry a smartphone and told your clients you prefer emails and can respond quicker to them. you also told me you get many compliments on your responsiveness.
\n
\nyou also said that you return calls on your home phone at night and on clients\u2019 phones when you are at their offices. this can\u2019t be done. in the old days, this was common, but now caller id engraves every phone number, making it easy just to redial that number by clicking it.<\/p>\n

you have to stop returning calls on any phone other than your office or cell phone. if calls are made to your home phone, don\u2019t answer them and let your clients know the next time you speak to them that they should use your cell (or office) number as your main number and not any of the others, especially your home number. you need some downtime and privacy, and the home should be off-limits.<\/p>\n

you can also tell clients to call your office during the day and cell after business hours and return calls on the appropriate phone during those hours.<\/p>\n

these days, many people send emails or make calls at all hours of the day or night as they think of something \u2013 and they make it your responsibility to get back to them. they do not expect immediate responses, but it is their way to get it off their minds.<\/p>\n

one of my pet peeves is serial call returners. these are people you play phone tag with and then give a specific time range when you can be reached, and they respond as soon as they get your message even though it is not within that time range. i\u2019ve gotten to the point where i no longer call them back \u2013 they were told when to reach me and chose to ignore it by calling me when they knew i was not available. it is inconsiderate and indicates a self-centered lack of respect or an abnormal compulsiveness \u2013 either way, not my problem!<\/p>\n
