Here is a scenario that Jennifer gave to me. I really like it because you can see how people handle situations in less than twenty seconds with this question.
The Title company offers you a job to do a signing at the Anderson’s at 7:45. It is already confirmed, but not by you.
It is 7pm now. You just called the Andersons, but they are not answering. If you leave now you will be exactly on time. Should you:
(a) Just wing it and go to the signing. Perhaps make more calls on the road.
(b) Make a quick call to title letting them know you are going but that nobody is answering.
(c) Keep calling all related parties and wait for a response before going.
There is no correct answer here. The issue is — who do you want to please? Do you want to make sure you don’t waste a trip? Or do you want to make sure you get there on time. Hmmm. This is sort of a personality quiz.
I would call hiring party, explain situation, tell them if they still want me to print, go to Apppt, I’d be happy to do so after they confirm via e-mail that they will pay my full fee, regardless of outcome. If they say they wonh’t, I’d give it back. Call me selfish, but the party IO want to please is myself.
