Law Firm Marketing : Please Call Back in 48 Hours...we don't want your business

Earlier this week I had the opportuinty to pass a referral to a law firm in another part of the country.  My contact was looking for a law firm in this city.

When I spoke to the law firm, I was told that only the Office Manager processed new enquiries and that she was away for two days.  Amazingly I was asked to call back in 48 hours.  When I asked to speak to one of the partners, my request was declined.

Would you wait 48 hours to pass a referral to a law firm?

Or would you conclude like me that maybe they are not looking for new clients!
