Ask For Someone In Sales

Often it is difficult to get through to a decision maker when you are calling on a new company. The personal assistant is operating as a gate keeper, protecting the boss from interruptions. If you can't get passed the gate keeper, ask for someone in sales. A sales person will show up immediately and tell you everything you want to know about the company and the CEO. They are paid to tell people things and will lead you the right way through the organization if you ask.
