HARRASMENT, INTIMIDATION TACTICS, PUSHY, RUDE, ARROGANT. Oh ‘Taylor Weeks’ – first, your alias sounds like a cheap soap opera name. Nothing says giant loser than a cold caller from Utah with an ego the size of Texas. Seriously? That’s all you got, Taylor? Did your supervisor not train you on how to get past the gatekeeper? Let me enlighten you, little buddy. You call my boss and I answer the phone. You tell me to put you through to him as if you are someone important. You don’t like my responses to you, so you try your hand at bullying and intimidating me. Wrong move. You lied about ‘working with our PE firm’. My boss has no use for you. You are an idiot. Good luck in your big equipment leasing financing job! What color is the sky in your boiler-room office? If you think you are the next Alec Baldwin in Glen Garry, Glen Ross, please, sir, let me give you a dose of reality. You are not even close. You may want to try your hand at delivering pizza or bagging groceries. You sir, are a giant loser.
Got a call from Julian Babbitt at x631. He was quite nice & not so pushy when asking to be connected to our President but I could immediately tell it was some sort of "sales" call. He said he was calling to discuss some sort of equipment finance deal. The minute I told him the President wasn't available, he asked for our CFO or controller.
Don't waste your time, it's a cold call. I took his info down precisely so I can post it on here.
Got a call from Tim Brunson of Onset Financial. Also asked for the CFO and then wanted to Controller. Reluctant to leave a message but I got one to pass on...I also believe this is a cold sales call.
this guy calls and asks for the cfo who hasn't actually worked for us in some time. i recognized his voice as he has called from a different number before, put him on hold to look this number up and sure enough, same guy.
when i asked him to remove us from his list and not call back, he said that was b-llsh-t and said f--k you.
seriously !?
reporting him to fcc right now.
loser.
Calls incessantly despite requests to be removed from the cold call list.
I was advised by the TM they cannot remove anyone from thier call list becuase it "waaaay too big for that".
Will be filing compliants for each call with FTC .
First rule of thumb for cold calls: Don't be rude and tick off the gatekeeper.
Caller from this number said he was "Tim" from Onset Financial asking to speak with our CFO. When informed that call are not accepted unless they have their name they tried to intimidate me into transferring the call. When he continued to argue that he was providing enough information to be transferred, etc.(not by our standards, not by a long shot!) I simply hung up. He called back, I immediately put him on hold then disconnected after 2 min. He called right back and asked for the company president by name and I transferred them to an automatic voice mail. (The company pres says if he wants to talk to them, he'll give them his direct number.)
This guy was rude, condescending, and applied intimidation tactics. Hey, nothing says "Cold-Calling Loser" like a salesman implying the switchboard operator is too dumb to know what's good for them!
