If the issue is very time sensitive we will call you back with the resolution and leave a voicemail when appropriate. A phone number also helps identify/authenticate you as an individual/employee we are authorized to talk to regarding your issue (whether confidential or not). |

Having a good description right away is vital to reaching resolution quickly. Please don't be concise in your description. Every detail helps. With enough detail we may be able to solve your problem immediately with little to no followups for clarification. |
