Receptionists…

Receptionists should be the highest paid employee at every company on the planet. Not only that but the should be smart.
Why?
Think about it, if someone wants to call your company who do they talk to first? If someone wants more information on a product, or wants to talk to a sales person who do they speak to first?
Why is it that companies hire the dumbest person they can find to be their receptionist. I must have spent 15 minutes today trying to give this one company my business, after unsuccessfully being transferred to a sales person several times, and then calling back, I finally gave up. Oh well, I guess they are doing so well financially that they don’t need my business.
