I received a call asking for the Director of IT or who ever is in charge.
From time to time, you will get solicitation calls from vendors and marketing people trying to speak to the director. When you get these, pass them to the voicemail for David.
If David is expecting a call from a vendor, he will always let you know ahead of time first so that you can pass the call to him when they call. If he has not given you the heads up, this means it is a solicitation call.
I received a call that is asking for service but they are not a client of ours yet.
From time to time, we will receive calls from potential clients that we currently do not do business with yet. When you receive these calls, get their contact information and pass it along to Mehdi.
