I don't answer unsolicited vendor emails or calls, however, I do keep them in a special folder, so when the time and need align, I have something to go back and search through. None of it is necessarily wasted.

Cold calling in any atmosphere or for any reason can be annoying in general but I try to understand that's their "job" and they arent annoying me on purpose and honestly I have ended up with some good contacts from it, rarely but it happens...I just let them know to contact corporate or that I'm not who their point of contact should be and keep it moving...

I'm in the "vendor" category, but I am so thankful that cold calls are not a part of my day. They sound awful for everyone involved

Regardless of what business you’re in, cold calling on a Monday is never going to be well-received.
Additionally, most businesses have pretty intense workloads on the first and last day of a calendar month.
Avoiding these days will help everyone, and vendors/suppliers will be able to better connect with the folks they’re selling to.

As a vendor (and former payroll salesperson)

I can assure you the person that is calling you most likely knows nothing about multi family, does not know the structure of property management. Nor understands that you don’t make payroll decisions on site.

At the end of the day, they’re just doing their job. Point them in the right direction and move on with your day.
