Your caller ID comes up as “Incoming/801.” That means you’ve blocked caller ID. Every time you call, you listen to my outgoing voicemail, which lasts a good 15 seconds, and then hang up, leaving me with a voicemail that simply contains a very audible “click.” This has occurred on a near-daily basis for at least three weeks.

I’m going to give you some bad news. You will never get my live voice on the phone. Not in a million years. There are too many “unidentified” calls that I picked up early in my career that literally resulted in a complete waste of an hour of my otherwise busy workday.

You have two options:

1. Leave me a voicemail explaining who you are and why you are calling me. Since there’s a 99 percent chance that you’re a sales person, I’m assuming you are skilled in doing this. It’s called a pitch. Stop balking.

2. Concede defeat and stop calling me. You will not win this war.
