…pushy and persistent sales people who seem to have a knack for calling at the busiest time i.e lunch rush, who never announce themselves or who they work for, but start off the conversation asking if the owner is available and who try to push for more information after you tell them the owner is unavailable and you’re in the middle of a rush?
Personally I feel no need to be polite to those people. They’re disruptive, intrusive, unprofessional and have no concept of basic phone etiquette.
On the other hand, kudos to those who have the foresight to call during down times, who announce themselves and their intentions before they ask for the owner and when told the owner is unavailable will simply say, “I’ll just try back later, thanks for your time.”
