Caller was pushy, wouldn't give out why there were calling other than "for charitable contributions" and would not disclose anything further. They said they would only talked to the owner.
The person on the phone said his name was Glen Davis.
Caller ID came up as "Paul Stevens" and a gentleman asked for the owner by first name. When I said they were not available and asked if I could help the guy said "No, I just need to speak to "..." stating the owners name again. I said the owner has a very busy schedule could I inquire as to why they were calling so that I could inform the owner and the guy got snotty with me and said "I don't understand why you need to know that, I just need to speak to (owners name)" I asked if was regarding the services we provide, a personal friend, a solicitation, etc...and he was still snotty to me saying "I, I, I don't understand why you need to know" So I stated "(Owners name) is not available, thank you" and hung up. I now found that they are soliciting for donations to "local" sherrif's departments...do they really think that bullying the person answering the phones wont get back to whomever they ask for?? That wont affect donations at all, right? Pffft. Dummies
Wow, this dude wont give up!! Caller ID "Paul Stevens" came in again this morning...ROUND TWO (lol)
"Good Morning, I need to speak to (owners name)"
"They are not available, is there something I may help you with today?"
"No, could I have (owners) voicemail?"
"No, you may not...in fact, please remove this number from your call list"
"WOW...where is THAT coming from?!!" (rather loud and snotty response I might add)
"Thanks so much, have a great day!!" and I hung up
Think I have his number? Heck yeah!!
Think the number is posted throughout the office with a DO NOT LET THROUGH note...HECK YEAH!! Think he's going to get past the gatekeeper? HECK NOOOOOOOOO.
Bullying people in the process of trying to reach someone is not going to get you anywhere...DUMMY!!!
Caller ID came up as Paul Faust with a number of 920-242-5363. Caller stated his name was Paul Stevens and could be reached at 920-215-1145. Whomever this person was today was a little nicer and at least explained why he was calling rather than arguing and bullying. Still annoying calls though...they will not take NO for an answer. Especially after I asked the original caller to remove our number from his call list we continue to get calls.
Caller ID came up as Sam Rhodes this time even though I know it used to come up at Paul Stevens prior. Man on other end of phone asked for owner of company by first name, I said they were unavailable and asked if I could help with something. Man did not wish to leave a message and did not leave HIS name just said - I'll call back later and hung up.
So, I guess when he calls back later - the owner will be unavailable...once again! :)
