Joe Killinger: Now how many calls, you know, we always get how many calls is, is, I'm sure it varies between commercial and residential, but um, how many calls a day were you making when you were doing residential? I bet you were cranking
Richard Blank: out.
Richard Blank: I could manual dial myself 400 calls a day and Oh good. Don't take yourself. I got the phone with the big buttons on it.
