The brain bone not connected to the phone bone...

Hi, TW - you've gotta stand back from this a little and figure out how many cold calls this company is getting every day (unless they already know you, of course). We get loads of folks ... and it gets wearing after a while - especially if you want to use the phone to solve a more urgent business problem.

One option is to run a mile from them because they're trouble with a capital T. Your call on this.

The other option is to find a different way to get your message through the filtering system - a letter, visiting them in person, a cute postcard, a .... ... well something which gets to the husband and not the wife.

One more try with them and see which other trucking companies might qualify for whatever it is you're pitching.

...
