Be Phone Tree Free

Got an e-mail the other day from Marcin Musiolik, alerting me to his company’s new project called Bringo!  Here’s how it works:

  1. Find the company you'd like to call by category (credit cards, mortgages, loans, health care)
  2. Enter your phone # (we will never disclose your phone number to anyone, not even your mother!).
  3. Wait a few seconds while we navigate the phone tree.
  4. When we call you back, pick up your phone and you're done. No more phone trees.

Looks pretty cool.  Try it out and let them know what you think in the comments to this post.  And if you think your clients or customers would use this service to contact your firm, it’s time to rethink your telephone answering options.

UPDATE:  Marcin tells me they are adding law firms next month.  I’d sure not want to see mine on there.
