Called for our VP, Operations. Caller said "I am so-and-so from such-and-such marketing co. (said it so fast it was almost impossible to understand). Can you please tell xxxxxxx that I'm holding?" Very rude. I told the caller that the person they asked for was on business travel and that I took calls for this person. I asked if I could assist them. They said "Nope, I'll call back". Glad I googled the number....
Called for the CEO. Tried to get info out of him. (What, was I supposed to, just connect? Haha!) Caller gave as little info as possible, so I googled. Then I simply picked up the phone and in one quick swoop, told him we were not interested, and to take us off his list, and (in a southern manner) told him tave a great day! Then hung up on last syllable. Bless his heart, he never stood a chance with me!
