Our receptionist transferred to me. Caller "of ISM" indicated he "was unable to speak of client business with anyone but our CEO". After checking with our CEO; Repeated to Caller that "the CEO was not now, never has been, nor wants to be a client of ISM." Caller was not phased, he just indicated he would email him and remind him of their business relationship. CEO was not impressed, "that's what spam is for."
They are trying to sell tickets to major sports events for client entertainment (mostly golfing). Very nice packages but very high end pricing. CEO is only one who could approve this expense.
He goes by the name of SEBASTIAN HICKERSON. He's called our CEO at least 3 times. Our CEO says he does not know him. Conversation goes like this...
Sebastian: Good Morning, can you let Jim know that SEBASTIAN HICKERSON is on the phone please.
Myself: He's not available, and would like me to take a message.
Sebastian: I'll just give him a call back later.
Myself: What company are you with, and what's your phone number; Jim would like me to take a message.
Sebastian: I'm going to be tied up in meetings, so I'll just call him back a little later.
Myself: What company are you with?
Sebastian: Its my consulting firm Sebastian Hickerson Consulting...
Then he calls back about 1 week later. Same conversation.
