My Tone Betrayed Me Today…

I'm always very conscious of my voice, and then my approach to clients once they call to book a ride…

So, earlier today, a call came in, and I was just laying on the floor, thinking about a lot of stuffs, but I picked the call…
I'd forgotten to clear my voice and carry out other routines before speaking to the client…

Him: Hello, good afternoon

Me: Good afternoon sir (husky, depressed voice)

Him: Is this Ette... EtteUWAD?

Me: Yes sir, it is…

Him: Okay… I need a ride from …. To....., How much will that be?

Normal me, I'll never give you the price at first, I'll engage you to settle…

Me: (still with my agbero voice) sir, when are we looking at…

Him: Tomorrow, and what cars do you have?

Me: Currently we have, Lexus ES300, we have a Toyota Corolla…

Him: The Corolla, what year and model, and don't you have a Camry?

Me: It's a Corolla Altis 2006, 2007, we have a Camry, but I need to be certain..

Him: Okay, so how much will that be?

Me: 50k sir… (still very relaxed or was it depressed sef🤦)

Him: That's on the high…

Me: okay, sir, what was your budget?

Him: I had 30k in mind

Me: Hmmmm, 40k is the best I can go sir…

Him: send me pictures of the cars as soon as possible…

Me: okay sir…

So, I decided to make some calls concerning the Camry, and it was not reachable, but I had the pictures.

He called back, I didn't pick the call. I had to miss it because I was yet to get the photos.

Omorrr on getting the pictures and sending it, his response was so cold. In fact at first, he took time to reply, and when he finally did, he was like, “I'll get back to you”

In my heart, I just knew, it's gone, otilorrr

So, hey, no matter what, don't allow your tone to get to your client…

Don't let whatever you're passing through get to your client…

I was going through a lot, and I allowed the lot to get to my client…

Normally, I go whine you scatter, even that 50k you go pay…
