RE: 10 telephone blunders that could hurt your image
Hate it when people record their name or greeting to make is sound as if they are actually answering. You call and the phone says "This is Larry" and you beging speaking because you believe you are actually speaking to that individual, but after a few seconds after attempting a conversation the phone says " is not available, to leave a message for This is Larry, please press 1".
I let a sales person know of my feelings about this type of greeting, not sure what he thought since I did not get a call back.
