I'm not saying there is no imaginable ethical sales activity that involves a telephone in some way.

But despite do not call lists etc, I can no longer answer my cell phone when I don't recognize the number, because of all the unwanted commercial calls, scams, surveys, etc. Many are falsifying their caller ID data because they know that everyone would block them if they could.

This product really really looks like it will be used to make that situation worse. "90% MORE LIKELY TO CONVERT A LEAD if you reach out minimum six times". Blech.

Somewhere, people are failing to communicate about something important because these people are pissing in the well.

Wow, I can't believe that's actually on there.

Why? I’ve heard for email, it’s eight.

Because it's a scummy fucking thing to come out and say - "we'll call people half a dozen times until they cave and buy whatever garbage you're offloading."
