Business is a little slow, so the boss-man has tasked me with drumming up some business cold calling. I’ve been cold calling since yesterday and three people have agreed; although, we don’t have their money yet so I’m still unsure about the success rate of this venture. I’ve made a ton of phone calls, a few people tell me they will think about it, some people say no, but more often than not, I’ve left voice mails. About 2o minutes ago, I received a call from a gentleman I left a message with earlier this morning. Here’s the just of the call:

Me: “Hello. Can I help you?”
Him: “Is this Annie?”
Me: “Yes.”
Him: “Would you like to by some postcards?”
Me: “What kind of postcards?”
Him: “I don’t know what ever.”
Me: “Do these postcards have pictures or can I have you print whatever I would like on them?”
Him: “Do you like me cold calling you and interrupting your business?”
Me: “I’m sorry; I am just doing my job.”
Him: “I’m sorry, I’m being a jerk but we’ve (him and his company) gotten so many cold calls from this one tax lien I purchased. Me and my employees can’t get anything done.”
Me: “I’m sorry we won’t bother you again.”

The conversation goes on for a bit longer with him apologizing for being rude.

Weird…
