Heh well I have just started cold calling sales after working on in bound calls for quite a while - and I bet I could sell to you Steve lol
orrect me if I'm wrong but isn't there something in UK law about improper soliciting of business???
Yes if he is registered with TPS (telephone preference service) this is a list that all companies when cold calling (ringing someone without them requesting it) must check there number database against to ensure that they do not call someone who has requested that they are not contacted by sales - however the law does not say how often companies must check their records against the TPS so it may take up to 6months from you registering with the service until your name and number has been removed from all tele-sales centres.
