One of my salesman put a guy named Larry in my voicemail. Said he was with Altus? and wanted to know how to
pay us - left this # and ext 2204 to call him back.
A woman just called into our office, asked for the CFO & I said he's out of office. Then wanted to leave a voice mail message and I explained I couldn't transfer that type of call because his phone is on Do Not Disturb. Talk about going from reasonably polite to openly hostile - she asked me who I was and it i was alwys that helpfully rude. I responede I am rude to the degree my caller is rude. She responds "I have been nothing but pleasant" and I pointed out the fact she hadn't bothered to respond to my inquiry of her name or her firm's name. She then started to tell me I'd personally screwed our company's chance to be paid a huge sum of money. I just hung up the phone and will keep track of their phone# as a nuisance caller
Worst call I had in a long time.Very rude male caller asked for owner of company and refused to let me know what his "credit question" was. When I said I was the owner's assistant, he hung up on me. I called the number back and another company name was mentioned. The lady said it is financial services. I asked her to take us off the calling list - she said she would try, but hung up on me before I could even mention our company name. Clearly, this is bogus.
I got a call from this company on Monday afternoon asking to speak to my CFO (she was transfered from our main line). I took her name and number and asked for a message. She gave me her info and said they'd help with A/R collections. I said he wouldn't take these calls regardless and she asked to be transferred to someone that does. I told her that i'm not allowed to give that information out but i have her info so I can pass it on. I also mentioned we don't take unsolicited calls so stop calling. She promptly hung up on me. She called my boss' line again (this time direct) and when I picked up she hung up immediately. I called the receptionist to tell her not to xfer any more calls from this #. When i left work an hour later, i passed the receptionist and she told me that the girl just called again asking if they're accepting unsolicited materials at this time. The receptionist promptly responded we never did.
I thought that was the end of it but she just called again today and when I asked who it was, she responded with "oh it's just _____ from Coface calling"and said she'll call back tomorrow. I started saying she can try but she's not going to get through and she hung up already. I just called back the number, got xferred to the manager (Kevin Newman) and asked him to remove my CFO's number from his database as well as inform him of how unprofessional and rude that girl is.
The girl calling is named Niani and her DD is 360-906-8022 ext 229. Apparently she doesn't know the meaning of NO and NOT INTERESTED so should she call, have a ball or give her a piece of your mind!
Caller asked for my boss by first name. The conversation was that she was a vendor of ours. I told her my boss was not a buyer. So she told me that they've done A/R collections for us in the past. I told her that we do all our own and she proceeded to state that she has done business with us.... so I put her into voice mail and she hung up.
Spoke to the boss and he confirmed "not interested;" which is my que to HAVE FUN. I just LOVE to mess with these types of callers, cause they waste soooooooooooo much of my time! :-)
