Call Initiator: "Who am I speaking with?"
Respondent: "Who wants to know?"
Call Initiator: "Who am I speaking with?"
Respondent: "My time has value, you need to identify yourself so that "I" can determine whether to invest anymore of my time into continuing this conversation."
Call Initiator: .................................................. .....
I get TONS of the "Unidentified Caller" calls that want to "Chat me Up" before getting to "their" agenda. I do NOT have time for that kind of crap nor am I willing to tolerate such open ended interruptions.
I've been in sales too long to play this amateur game.
I have now patented the above into my telephone etiquette.
Ruck, I can appreciate your position and screening tactics with fraud being what it is nowadays, but like the OP here, you would have had even less cooperation from me with a call like that.
I'm sure that your AM program is a first rate operation and I cast no disparaging remarks your way. I'm just saying that the OP is not alone out here when it comes to wanting to know who has "Interrupted Us."
An unplanned phone call is an interruption to the recipient no matter who is calling. If the interruption is not deemed justified to the recipient, it WILL end and leave less than positive thoughts in the recipient's mind.
