Sales Director Stephanie's mobile rings...

Cold caller: 'Hi Stephanie - look I'll be honest this is a sales call...'

Stephanie: 'Sorry - I don't take sales calls.'

Hangs up

Cut to...

Monday morning sales meeting run by Stephanie with her team of SDRs. 

Stephanie: 'So...what was our biggest challenge last week?'

Sales rep: 'Decision makers not taking our calls.'

Stephanie: 'Mmm... don't be disheartened. Just make more calls. Anything else..?'

Should sales leaders take sales calls?

Are they fully entitled not to?

Or is this just ridiculously hypocritical?
