Female with difficult-to-understand (and annoying) accent called on our main line for one of our partners. Supposedly, she had an "Andrea Chesney" on the line. The executive called did not know this person, so the idiot who called did at least tell me the name of the company (Deloitte Recap) - after I had to ask. I asked the nature of the call, but the idiot didn't know. I told her to ask Andrea Chesney, but she "couldn't do that." I told her that if she can't tell me the nature of the call, and if she can't ask the caller the nature of the call, then she shouldn't call! Seriously, Deloitte Recap (and all other sales spammers), this is not the way to get through to a top (or any) executive. It's ESPECIALLY rude and disrespectful to have your underlings make these calls on your behalf, then ask an executive to get on the phone with the underling, waiting for your sales staff.
