I think the ones where people give you absolutely nothing but one word answers are the worst...just awkward and not even entertaining. I'd almost prefer that someone insulted me or told me to go fuck myself than deal with "yes. no. no. ok."

Sent a cold email and got a reply that said nothing but "Fuck off" not even a signature. It made me laugh more than discourage me so thanks Bill you tool.

The calls where the prospect is extremely hostile -

Why are you calling me?
How did you get my #?
What do you want?

My version of this was:

Who did you say you were?
From where?
Why are you calling me? How did you know my name?
I don't care where you got my name and number from, lose it before I call the cops on your company...hang up.

I had one guy answering his phone with his name. And when I started talking I acted like he was a gatekeeper for himself 😅
