The phone just rang before. I picked it up and got a robot saying something like "hi, this is an important call from VF. If [my name] is available press 1, if not press 2."

 

I decided to hang up instead.

 

Is this a new thing VF are doing?

Next time when they ask for you, press 1 and find out.

 

 

And guess what's on the other side of that door?

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was for real.

 

If they want to talk to me however, they will need to do get real human to do so. smile

Spark use this Journey too, but only for Callbacks requested by customers.

 

 

 

Would be weird to use it for say a credits related cold call like implied above.. As you did, people would hang up if they didn't request it...

 

Probably a number i'd never get to see but i'd love to see the Abandoned rate of that particularly calltype... (Credits autocaller..) I'm assuming it would be absurdly high...
