It never ceases to amaze me that the very companies that employ a large cold calling ’salesforce’ are the same companies that shun any attempt to receive calls from other companies.

Everything from a “no name policy” to a “Mr/Mrs XYZ doesn’t take calls”. Really? Why have a telephone?

It’s as though these companies are displaying the contradictory stance that a parent may sometimes take towards a child: “Do as I say, not as I do”. The result is often confusion, resentment, even anger. Fortunately, the more seasoned professionals among us will ignore or defer any temptation to allow such emotions to manifest, as they know that in so doing, they relinquish control of both themselves and the call.

If you know of any companies that take this position (no need to name them , they know who they are), or you have war stories to share about this, remember to leave your comments below.
