While I too understand the need for marketing products, I don't agree
with the intrusive methods exhibited by telephone marketing (or email,
but that's easier to deal with). If I want a product I'll find out about
it and contact those companies offering what I need. If I don't want a
product I certainly don't want to be called directly about it.
I think all cold-calling should be banned. If companies want to market
themselves then do so in the public space of the internet, TV and
magazine advertising, and so on. I'll find them if they are any good.
Rant mode off. There, I feel better now. At least it's Friday.

I understand the need for marketing of products and services, but
unfortunately my experience of the professionalism of this bunch of
people has been very mixed; from ultra professional to downright
childish.
