I was trying to reach a person from the top management of a company to suggest our application Trolly.
I tried to see if I was connected to them, but I wasn’t so I picked up the phone and dialed the board number. I asked for the ‘Corporate Email address’ of this person, so I can write to him. The staff on the phone refused to give the email address to me. I don’t get why? If the fear is spam, how long does it take to mark it as such. But on the flipside, if the guy seeking your email id is one that has a solution you have been dying for, or worse, if the guy on the other line is your prospective customer, you are screwed, no? In our company, if people call to ask for the corporate email id, we give them.
What are you thoughts?
