Huge's rule of tradesperson halfs;

- Half the people you call won't return the call

5% of people don't remember to leave a number. 10% mumble or speak so
quickly you can't decipher it.

Caller ID means it's usually easy to find out who's called. I've had people
ringing back, without me leaving any sort of message.

(But in general, not just tradesmen, if you do manage to speak to someone
and they promise to call back, nineteen times out of twenty, they
won't.)
