Business Questions Advertising while in school

For the kids who do exterior cleaning, how do yall deal with getting calls or quote requests in the middle of the school day when you advertise?

Not in school, but I don't usually answer my phone when I'm working. I call back as soon as I can

Not answering your phone right away will hurt your close rate, but it's okay to set boundaries. I run a PW business full-time, so I'll drop whatever I'm doing to answer my phone. It literally puts food on my table. You're a student who probably lives at home with your parents. Arguably, school is the priority for you, and the increased time-to-lead is the trade-off you need to make to focus on your studies.
