I have no problem with aff managers wanting to phone every once in a while so long as they make an appointment and keep it…
Unfortunately, I have had 3 in the last 2 weeks who are determined to nag me via email for a “chat” and never end up calling at the pre-determined time. This is rude in my books, and I hope that aff managers checking this forum realize that if you feel the need to talk via telephone, then please have the courtesy to make an appointment and keep it.
Finally, no offense to aff managers, but if you plan on calling, please be aware of potential language barriers…. this can be a problem.
