Our e-mail procedure.
We try and answer e-mails in the order they are received in but this not guaranteed. Our system works like this: All e-mails to sales go to Guy's computer, Guy shares them out to his sales team, depending on the question he may select a certain salesperson as we all have are own area of expertise, for example an inquiry about a double rifle may come to me and "Cowboy guns" tend to go to Brent. One salesman may get a small number of e-mails but then spend most of his day answering phone calls so falls behind, some days we are all swamped with phone calls and "walk in" customers so it is difficult to make progress. E-mails with lots of questions do tend to wait to get answered last, I am afraid this is human nature.
Our goal is to answer all e-mails with in 2 working days, unfortunately this may run to 3 or 4. If staff are sick or take time off and long weekends all tend to slow us down. This morning, Monday, we had just under 500 e-mails to answer, it will take us while to get through them all.
Thanks for your patience.
