I assume you block your number. Otherwise, they would see your name on caller id.

When I 1st started cold calling, I called out of the phone book and I can't remember if answering machines were bing used yet.
A group of us would rent a motel room and split the cost just for the use of the phone for free local calls. Had to pay for long distance calls back then. We'd work a town for a week or two then go to another town and just keep rotating towns, going back to each town several times a year. It was like a traveling boiler room.
Times sure have changed.

No I do not block my name or phone number.
I mail 2 brochures on Medicare (T--65) and leave 3 messages. Then I move on and don't bother anymore. They know it's me. They know what it's about. If they don't want to talk, they're telling me they are not interested.

Man, I forgot about doing something similar. Going from small town to small town, renting room and calling from a phone book.
Don't miss those days at all.

I received your voice mail but but didn't call back... I thought I would just catch you on the forum and let you know I won't be buying any.
Thanks.

Just goofing around with you... I would leave a message... but I would do it while talking to them at their door.
