[[:encoded, "Today we are going to talk about 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business and working my appointment only is better client service.\n\nThere is a huge misconception that the best business is a business that is at the beck-and-call of its clients. The truth is that the best business is a business that effectively sets boundaries, and manages and exceeds client expectations in order to maintain a productive and effective flow.\n\nIf you are constantly juggling clients, answering the phone at all hours of the day, interrupting your personal time to fit in business, and feeling stressed, here are 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business.\n\n1.
