Number looked strange as it came up with country code first so (0119723317540 on call display) but I answered it politely and he said "Hello XXXX" (my bosses name). I said, sorry but XXXX wouldn't be in the office today" and he paused and then asked if I was one of the owners. Now I was quite suspicious and said sorry, but I was not and what was this in regards to. He grumpily re-emphasized XXXX so I hung up. If he couldn't figure out the first time that he really wasn't going to get an audience with the boss, pulling attitude wasn't going to get him anything but hung up on. Glad to find out he was nothing more than a jerk cold caller.
This number just called me asking for "John" who hasn't owned this phone number for years....so anytime someone calls and asks for him I know it's a telemarketer. When I told him there was no one here by that name. He asked if the number used to belong to an old business...and I told him not in 4 years. He then got snotty and said "SO IS THAT A YES?" haha I asked him if he had a question and he said "Nevermind, you don't deserve my business" Since when do telemarketers call you to buy something!!! HAAAA! Really rude company. I see a post on here claiming this is a legit business. If so, you should REALLY teach your employees basic phone etiquette.
Nice, the issue is you are cold calling people. If we want information from you, we will call you. Please stop calling our offices and asking for the owner, he does not want to sell his business. Your rude telemarketers keep calling even when they are already told this.
