I like to ask for the person I’m calling for by their first name. Make it sound like they should know who you are. 

Me: is mike there?

Gatekeeper: who?

Me: Mike?

Gatekeeper: can I tell him who’s calling? Or who is this?

Me: yeah this is (my first name)

More often than not the GK assumes they should know who you are.

Ask for their name a second time. Remember it. Use it. Make a joke about something they will probably find funny. 

*be extremely polite*

You may not get through the first time, but if you keep at it you will eventually get through.

you can also mail a message in a bottle directly to your target 🤷‍♀️
