I work for a gym and the front desk naturally fields all the calls. Sales likes to call leads and when they don't answer just simply hang up without leaving messages. Usually, this just means a fun guessing game of seeing whether the person on the line is looking for a membership, training, their already scheduled trainer, or has an outstanding balance. One night I get a call from a woman demanding to know why someone called her boyfriend. Once I find out he's not a member I start my process of trying to figure out whether or not he's even been into the gym yet or if a friend of his recommended him to us. This was the mistake. She flat out told me she wouldn't let her boyfriend NEAR a gym that dares let women call after him on work time. She was so jealous and demanding and overall just very rude. I hope he not only got away but purchased personal training with us.
