Why most of the most organized people fail to organize incoming calls on their mobile phone is a mystery that I've not been able to understand so far.
Someone calls you up when you are attending an important meeting and you, without a second thought, disconnect the call instantly. Unfortunately, it happens with me almost everyday; most of the time, when I call up my clients.
Your action is justified, because you can't take the call for obvious reasons. But, then, is call reject the only solution or there could be a more civilized way of letting the other person know that you are busy.
Yes, there is!
Most of the Smartphones invariably have an in-built call filtering program. It offers you several options in terms of either keeping your phone on mute mode, or you can form multiple groups in accordance with your call receiving preferences.
I have been using this call filtering apps on my blackberry handset for a long time and, till date, never disconnected an incoming call.
You know why?
Because, psychologically, disconnection means rejection, and humans do find it difficult to digest rejection of any kind even if it's for a valid reason. By rejecting the call, you, in way, are hurting the caller and a negative feeling - against you - gets registered in his/her subconscious mind.
To you, it may appear a simple issue, but, when becomes a habit, it has the potential to turn into a critical factor -- spoiling your relationship with a few.
So use call filtering application without fail and get rid of the uncivilized method of rejecting incoming calls on your mobile phone.
Update: In this article, I have explained the solution and it doesn't take much time also. Whenever someone doesn't wish to take calls, s/he only has to activate call filtering program on his mobile. Calls will keep coming but phone wouldn't ring. Later, looking at the missed call, one may decide whom to call back.
When, a better way of handling an issue is available, that too free of cost, isn't it wiser to implement it. After all, we, in corporate world, talk so much about following the best practices. It's my personal opinion and I may be wrong; just sharing my thoughts.
