Exactly, don't shoot yourself in the foot!

Shooood, I've waited for a return phone call for two weeks before and that was after speaking to a live person. So, for filling out an inquiry online that someone has to check periodically it may be a little bit of a wait. Just my opinion.
In this day and age with overnite air freight and affordable 2-3 day delivery, 1-2 or 3 week response time isn't going to generate many sales or impress existing customers.............IMO.

The automatic impression made is; if this is how they respond to sales inquiries, how are they going to handle product support? Been down that road too many times with Barry Grant.

The inquiries from my company's website go right to my phone 7 days a week and the customer is acknowledged within 9 hours at the worst......... in 35 years I've yet to have too many customers, maybe I'm abnormal.
