Cold Call - What Have I Walked Into?!

Ring ring:

"Hi is that Maureen?"

"Well it depends who's asking..."

"Eh? Your name changes depending on who I am?"

"Yes."

"Errr...I think you may have been expecting someone else!"

"Are you my husband?"

"Of course not."

"Then we're off to a good start."

"Errr sorry I think this might be a misunderstanding - I'm calling in relation to your sales department."

"There's no confusion here young man - are you close?"

"Close to where?"

"Where do you think?"

"I think I'd better be off...I had a note to speak to Maureen about improving her conversion rates and optimising ramp times for new starters."

"Ohhooo...did you now!!"

"Sorry too much for me..."

*hangs up.

Take away - be careful when calling someone on their mobile, you never know what you might be walking into.
