I wholeheartedly agree. I never deal with cold callers. As a matter of fact, even when I get a call from someone claiming they are from a company I do business with, I ask them where on their web site I can find the number I should call so *I* can initiate the conversation.
For instance, Florida Blue wants to do a heath assessment for me. One of the first things they ask is what is my birthday so I can prove I am me. They called me! So, I politely tell them that anyone could call me and claim they were calling from Florida Blue and that I am NOT giving my birth date to a stranger who initiates contact. They understand, but sound disappointed.
Never, ever do business with someone who initiates contact. If we all do that, then businesses would find it is no longer financially viable and we would no longer get these annoying calls.
