Companies that don't mind outsourcing their reputation to a third-party outbound call center.

When I get an unsolicited call, I always ask pertinent questions. If they can't be answered swiftly, I know that the company doesn't care enough to properly train their sales critters, and so my trust in them to do anything properly is significantly decreased.

Pertinent questions might include "how is your software or service delivered?", "where is the company located?" or "where is your security policy documented?".

When I get an unsolicited phone call, I typically put my phone down without hanging up and go on about my business, until they hang up.
