Interesting Gatekeeper responses

Internet has been my forte. Just recently I have started picking up the tricks of Names sourcing using the telephone. Though most of the responses are from sales people and not names sourcers, I found this Linkedin question and answers to the same quite helpful. Following is a valuable comment (Linkedin Answer) from the other side of the table.

"WHAT WORKS FOR ME? Several people who responded first have already said it but let me just confirm that what they say is true! I will do my best to assist anyone who tells me the truth right off the bat, who gets to the point and doesn't waste my time. Someone who remembers speak with a respectful tone (and not talk down to me) because I am getting nothing out of helping them - they are benefitting. And when they call during a time that I am on a deadline and don't have the time to talk - I appreciate people who are willing to send me an email stating what they need and why they are contacting our company and then I can forward it out to our management team."
