John - Same as Andy : I think if you truly read what people are saying you will see that these cold callers are IN FACT rude. If they were NOT rude they WOULD LEAVE their info to follow up on -however these RUDE callers just hang up on you mid - sentence! As soon as you say "No they aren't - may I take a message" by the time you get to "aren't" you have been RUDELY hung up on. They wouldn't even let you get part way throught your >> "thank you for calling me but ***RUDELY HUNG UP ON BY NOW** I am happy with my current adviser" and if your not then ask them for some information - who knows maybe they can help you.<< I AM SURE NOW this IS what you BOth do for a living. if you ARE JUST DOING YOUR JOB AND TRYING TO GAIN ACCOUNTS - don't RUDELY HANG UP on people. YOU try smiling and at least sat THANK YOU before hanging up on people.
~Not angry at all! :o) just tired of people wasting my time (and theirs) by RUDELY hanging up.
Yup, Joseph Donnelly called my boss today. He did say he was from Joseph Gunnar & Co. and gave me his number. Btw, folks, if you really want to get rid of these guys (and I have sympathy because it's a job and the economy sucks just about now), tell them that if it's about "personal finance" and you put the call through, you will LOSE YOUR JOB. That'll stop 'em.
Didn't answer because I didn't recognize the number. Looks like I made the right call (pardon the pun) because I don't have time to waste on cold-call brokerage spammers
Just got one this morning from "Andrew Demata." He said he was from Joseph Gunner and Company and wanted to speak with my boss regarding a "personal matter." I told him that I needed more information and he was very rude. Can't wait for him to call back - idiot!
