My company does have a policy on restricting cell phone usage to a hands free device, therefore I use the bluetooth sync system in my truck to make and take calls. Would this be deemed necessary by you?.....probably not, but then again, your stance is set and nothing will change that. What does that mean for me? Diddly squat because you and your beliefs aren't who sign my paycheck.
You can't make/return your calls when your stopped? It MUST be done while you're driving? I don't believe that...
In a field where customers will call once then call a competitor, NO. What you believe is of no consequence to me....
My usage of my phone via a bluetooth device in my vehicle is in no way illegal nor has it been banned, so attempting to justify it to you is not necessary. You're the one who wishes that cell phone usage while driving was banned, so why don't you justify why it isn't necessary?
This is an argument that wont go anywhere because what one might deem necessary, the other wont. I'm sure if I were to follow you around for a day I could find a whole slew of things that you do that I wouldn't think is necessary.
Maybe you're in the wrong business if you would lose customers because of a delayed phone conversation...
I wouldnt lose customers, I would lose whatever job they were calling about. They would call back for the next project etc etc. BUT I certainly dont get paid by the amount of jobs I lose because I listened to a very opinionated fellow on BITOG and chose not to answer the phone just because he thinks its not necassary and should be banned.
