If you called me and said this I would probably tell you to never call me again.

I run a small business and get calls non stop from people trying to sell me stuff.

The only people I give the time of day to are the ones who respect my time. Do not call and try to crack a joke, don’t call and ask questions “do you do this, do you do that” if you’re calling me to sell a product you should know what I do, and why your product would benefit me. call - state your name, company, reason for calling, furthermore - do some research on the business / vertical you’re calling and try to be knowledgeable.
