I got interviewed for a sales role today the person tells me you have to make 800 to 900 sales calls per day is he real?
My work phone gets nearly daily calls from a furnace cleaning company. At first I was polite, and then I was like "take my number out of your system please". And now it is just straight up hang up.

Maybe it is a job with them? At the MAX those were 30 second calls, now due to efficiency they are like 3 second calls, and I still keep getting them. Always from some random number so I am required to answer it.
