What would you do?

The phone rings, and I glance at the Caller Id panel as I reach for my headset. But I pause, as it reads "TELEMARKETING" above an 800 number. So I put my headset back and I went about my work.

Would you answer it?

Hmmm… 10 points for honesty, but 0 for marketing savvy. Curiosity might get the best of me if I were really bored.

I never answer the phone anymore unless I know the person on the caller ID and want to talk to them. I get at least 5 sales calls a day at work and that’s just wasted time - more productive to delete their voicemails.

“They” have called every day this week since the post, and my guess is that they’ll show up on Monday as well - stay tuned!
