The 'Will-Call Headache' Myth: How Smart Service Boosts Retention

It's a common belief in the propane industry: will-call customers are more trouble than they're worth. They often call at the last minute, run out of gas, and demand rush deliveries. For safety officers and compliance reps, this translates to increased stress and potential safety violations when drivers are pushed to their limits. However, this 'headache' is often a symptom of outdated systems, not inherent customer behavior. The truth is, managed correctly, will-call customers can be just as valuable, if not more so, than auto-fill accounts, provided safety and compliance are never compromised.
