Can I speak to the MD

One of the downsides of trading under a company name is the amount of cold callers phoning you!

I just had my 3rd one today, this is how it went….

(Ring Ring)

Me: Hello, Giantpea

Caller: Hello, can I speak to your MD?

Me: Sure, hold the line please

(on hold for about 10sec)

Me: Hi, just trying the line now

Caller: Thanks

(on hold for about 5secs)

Me: Sales department, how can I help?

Caller: Oh? Hi, someone was putting me through to the Managing Director!

Me: The MD? Ok, hold the line please

(On hold again for 10sec)

Me: Hello MD’s office, how can I help?

Caller: Err!! Hello (now a little confused by the similarity in voice)

Me: MD’s office, how can I help?

Caller: Err! (short pause) Sorry, can I speak to the MD?

Me: One moment

(10sec hold)

Me: Hello the MD speaking, how can I help?

Caller: (Hangs up)

:)
