Daily I get those trying to get me in the 1st page of google.
Credit card processing.
Vontage type phone service should be banned for telemarketers. Or number masking.
Call comes in local area code and prefix. Nope some prerecorded sales call. Or some other sales call from come out if state or out of country sales person. Trying to mask their sale bundled into something else.
So today. Some out if area call comes in. 8:30 am. SEO service. Marketing. I just flat out tell the guy. If I hired someone he or she would be local. Someone I could sit across the table from. No thank you. No thank you means sell harder. I tell him. Your wasting your time. But then he needs to explain how business is done these days and he has 10,000 happy clients. I say. Well I'm not going to be 10,001. And he pushes harder. Ugh.
Then later. Another call local number. But not.
We are calling about quickbooks. You use qb. Yes I say. I then say. Let's just cut to the chase. What is the purpose of the call. We can offer you a free upgrade to 2014 pro. I reply. What if I already use 2014? So. What is the purpose of the call. Then she starts yelling at me.
I guess I need to come up with a new word other than no.
What sucks is if you hang up on them they call back a few days later. If you don't answer they keep calling.
And my favorites. You answer but then discount the line because their auto dialed already got an answer.
3 others I got today.
One guy. Prerecorded. A guy that works with adjusters looking for a company to take on smaller jobs servpro does not what. Blah.
And another prerecorded. Offering working capital.
And another. 411 directory or some bs. I spoke to them once.
But what gets me. Is when you stand your ground and say no. They get completely pissed. I've been sworn at. Yelled at, when I hang up. I think. Thank god I did not want to do business with them.
Another is Yodle.
We've got no room for boring.

Now it could be another line and they could just be going through all our lines but it's happened to me more than once and I don't even answer the phones much. I wait until those that are supposed to answer the phones are on a line before I grab it.
I hung up.
