It depends on what I’m doing when the phone rings, what game I’m watching, and/or how much I’ve had to drink. But, if I’m free, I might take the call, sometimes it’s free money! Sometimes it’s the nice people checking on my auto warranty. Other times, there’s nobody there bc it’s some dumb call center spamming numbers to see if they are active
do you answer the phone on weekends?

No, voice mail is there for a reason... unless after listening it is a death claim, then I follow it up with an immediate response.
I'm their agent, not a family member.
Take your clients and add them to your contacts so that you can weed out calls. I use an icon for all my clients so that I can spot them immediately. However; in the FEX world those numbers change on a monthly basis.

Yes put clients in contacts. And here’s one better, use a common ring tone just for them.

I also add clients into contacts.
I add a memory jogger in the contact so I can answer it with some familiarity. It scrolls across my screen as it rings.
Such as - *Robert 'Bob' Smith - Client - wf= Sue - ref' by Fred S @farmers - Sagicor GUL* "Sure I remember you Bob, Sagicor policy, right? How's Sue?"

Yes great idea how do you do that. I always answer them by name anyway but this is an amazing idea.
I don't always answer my phone, especially at ungodly hours of the day, or the weekend.
I had somebody call me at 10:30pm this past week.
I was too tired to answer the phone, but I knew it must have been an emergency, so I called him the second I woke up 5:00am.

Just enter the information as the contact name. It helps in a couple of ways, remembering clients I may not have heard from for 20 plus years and gives me a bit of a head start on pulling up info.
