CALLS TO SPEAK TO BOSS, PUT HIM ON HOLD FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN HE HANGS UP. HE/SHE FROM OLYMPIA SAY THAT THEY ARE RETURNING CALL IN REFERENCE TO AQUISTION DISCUSSED EARLIER WITH MR/MS ?
Ask for owner by name. This happens about once a month from Eric with Olympic. I just tell him Mr. so and so won't take his call then hangup. He calls right back so I don't answer. The 3rd time I pickup and he ask for Mr. so and so and I ask what it is regarding and he says a proposal he summited. I ask which proposal and he says for Target. I ask Target what and he says Target Dept. Store. I put him on hold then he hangs up.
Eric with Olympia just called. He asked for my boss by name. I always check with him 1st even though I know it's not a legit call but just to be sure. I told this man my CEO is not interested and has asked that Olympia not call him anymore. Eric says he doesn't understand what that means. I said it really just means my boss would prefer that you not pick up your phone and dial this number anymore. Eric said but we're doing business. I nicely and professionally explained to Eric that he's in fact NOT doing business relating to this company or I would know about it so if he needs to discuss personal business in the future with my boss he is to call him on his personal phone. The a-hole hung up.
Just hung up with him. After telling him that my boss was not available he asked to be transferred to voicemail. Knowing that he was not a customer or friend I told him that his voicemail was full. He insisted on being transferred to voicemail a couple times more but I wasn't going to. I kept telling him it was full and finally he said "fine I'll just try him on his cell phone" (BIG LIE) and hung up.
