The problem with that is, on occasion, the phone calls are totally legitimate.
I work for a business that is sometimes forced to make outbound calls to customers in order to advise them of last minute problems (like a plane flew into the airport - your flight is canceled). There have been instances where the people will not pick up with the same idea you have, and then later call us because "we never called to tell them".
I have even had people pick up and immediately say "I am not interested", when I was calling them to let them know they were eligible for a refund or something else.
There have been occasions where I became hasty and didn't really listen to what they were wanting to talk to me about, and meanwhile, I actually wanted it *bank calling to give me a credit card, or up my interest rate on my savings account*.
Best plan IMO is to feign interest until the caller has proven to you that you truly aren't interested, at which point you pull shit on them... lol.
