Mike Dayton from Renoir called me and gave me the typical stick we get all the time. Don't be annoyed by him. Do as I do and treat it as comic relief of the day. Enjoy listening to the oddball things they do like coughing into the phone, giving you some nonsense about talking to your boss before, or that they're returning a call from your boss.
Knowing they're 100% not legit, it actually makes it fun to listen to the stick while trying to take a message. Try it...you'll like it. Don't get annoyed, just take a message and be done with it. They want you to get annoyed, so just don't. When callers become unprofessional on a phone call, it's clear to me and my boss that we wouldn't return the call or work with someone like Mike Dayton from Renoir.
Mike Dayton calls on a weekly basis, states he has talked with my executive when she says she has no idea who he is. He's pushy and demanding. I've asked to be put on his "do not call" list and he insists he is NOT a salesman. Well good luck in getting through I take all my execs calls and NEVER put sales folks through! Says he's with Whipro or Wordpro not sure he won't give me more information on what the company does which is fishy to say the least. And yes Alias is deffiently Mr. Dayton.
