BASED ON RESEARCH DATA IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONTEND THAT:

• 75% of phone calls fail the first time. The phone is not the only and most efficient means of communication.

• 55% of phone calls are one-way. For one-way message transmission the pager is more efficient than the phone.

• 60% of incoming calls are of less importance than the activity they interrupt. The pager does not interrupt the activity under way.

• 70% of a manager's time is filled with meetings, phone calls and activities outside the office. When using the pager even the most mobile manager will become contactable.

PAGER ASSETS:

• Pager is cheap and easy to use.

• Pager is never occupied.

• Pager gives you exact information on the situation and its operativity.

• Pager is small and unnoticeable. It is convenient to fix it to the belt or carry it in a handbag. Messages arrive delicately, they neither interrupt nor disturb, they are voiceless.

• The owner of the pager may decide himself whether a return call is needed.

COSTS incurred in using the pager are very small. The owner of the pager has to pay the monthly fee only.
