OK, Time for a client - supplier etiquette tip
To Some Client Market Researchers out there, you know who you are,
Please put your phone number in the signature of your email. Even if we have done business for a number of years that’s the first place we look for a phone number when we need to get back to you quickly or have a call scheduled.
I recognize that you get a lot of calls, believe me I do too. But if someone has an inbound email from you is it not likely that you would also trust them with your phone number?
Trust me, those annoying sales folks you don’t want to speak to will be the first to find your number anyway by dialing the main number or going through a data service like Jigsaw etc.

My guess is that more readers just removed their phone number from their signatures than added it. Ha ha.

Tom,
As a client-side researcher I completely agree that we should be including phone # so that suppliers can easily contact us.
