I work in procurement for a fairly large company. The number of random Chinese companies that send me emails, and the random cold calls I get drive me up the wall. Like dude, if I'm qualifying new vendors, I sure as shit ain't doing it based on a cold call or random sales email. FOH.

Same.

But, you answer your phone? ๐Ÿ˜Ž Nobody I want to talk to ever calls me anymore. (That's mostly good.)

My favorite spammers are the ones who I explicitly tell "I'm not interested in doing business with you, but will keep your info on file...yada"...that double down. Like, FFS I make shampoo. There is ZERO chance of me buying circuit board subassemblies, vending machines, or livestock. Now if you've got a line on polyquat surfactants...call me.

No, the only time I answer is usually when I'm expecting an urgent call from a vendor and I see a random number call so I go oh hey, maybe this is them, then I get to deal with some sales pitch. I usually am a bit of a dick to them and just cut them off mid sentence. "Is this a sales call? I only answered because I was expecting an important call. I need to go."
