For a little while I was helping out with a local charity, to get them some sponsors/donations. I am incredibly surprised at how many people (e.i. businesses,) that do not contact you back after calling them. They say, "oh yes send me the information," but then when you call back they don't answer. You leave messages with their answering machines, and call back many days later to remind them to call you back, but they still don't.
I find that it's really bad P.R. For a business to not call back or at least answer the phone and let you know that they can't donate. Just tell me kindly no thanks, and at least I can say that I tried and they considered it. But to not give an answer, to not call back and let the day of the event approach is just a horrible thing for them to do.
Horrible for me, terrible on them, and even worse for the good cause that they let down by not supplying an answer. I'm just flabbergasted on how these people got to do the Public Relations of their respective businesses when they don't have the curtesy of responding back to an inquiry.
