yeahhhh just got a call from them. they didnt respond and as I thought it was one of our customers, I took down the caller ID and wasted some time trying to addresss this before I found this site. I suspect I just went on a low level list just of people that actually pick up their phone.
I dont have a problem with telemarketers -I get that they just need work and probably dont like it anyways, but it is a waste of time that could be avoided if their crappy company didnt intentionally be elusive about who they are ("not a telemarketer") or vaguely provide contact info to make you think they are your customer. Its not a coincidence, and its probably illegal. yes poor telemarketers, but it is the CDW that is victimizing their own staff, and you can gaurantee that they understand people hate this. If you work for them I'm sorry, but either report so much dissatisfaction with potential customers that they change their policy, or realize that getting yelled out for legitimate reasons is part of your job if you work for that company. I need to make money too and you are taking it out of my pocket when you make me pay attention to you because you make it too hard to realize you are just like every other telemarketer -you dont deserve anymore of my time then them
This # is from CDW. www.cdw.com. It's the generic phone number that comes from when an account manager tries to reach you. answer next time and say you are intersted in 100 servers. play with them!!!
i also go a call from 312-224-1085 and as soon as I picked up the person hung up. I think its kind of funny that i got a call from CDW because I work for their competitor PC Connection
I work for CDW and when we call businesses we each have our own direct line that shows up on the caller ID from the area code we are calling from. This is our job; it's how we feed our families. Wasting our time with false order requests is a pretty nasty thing to do. We are all struggling in this tough economy together. Obviously you have never been in sales.
