I called fellow business owner, Bryan Mulligan, as a professional courtesy, to extend to him a specially-tailored opportunity, but I did not get the chance to speak with him to explain the details. I had to leave a message with an assistant who apparently came to a false assumption of why I was calling. Then she was rude and hung up on me.\r

This ""overtrained gatekeeper"" behaviour is extremely unprofessional. We do not tolerate this type of behaviour from our own staff, and we do not condone this unfair treatment from others whom we are trying to help.\r
\r
Our sole purpose is to provide our fellow business owners with what they NEED and REQUEST--but do NOT HAVE. If being open-minded and taking advantage of appropriate opportunities is somehow unappealing or repulsive, then they are misunderstanding the benefit, or don't want to benefit. That is unfortunate.\r
\r
We believe in fair market practices and open business relationships, and more importantly, we believe in the spirit of community and promoting economic health and success.\r

If they're going to practice this kind of abuse upon callers, then we suggest that others carefully consider any possible transactions with them, to avoid being a victim of their unnecessary hostility.
