I get anywhere from 5-20 sales calls a day (not to mention cold emails and the blind-rage-inducing cold meeting spam, which lands the salesperson on my auto-block list). I don't have the time during the day to answer these, so I don't pick up my phone unless I recognize the number. I have my email in my voice mail message - I'm happy to review any email that comes in from a cold call. I may not respond, but often I'll file away a service and if something's a good fit, I'll follow up a bit later.
