Odd Phone Call from List Vendor

Received a phone call from a list vendor that asked me if I worked the Med Supp Market and would I like to purchase a list in my area. He gave me a price at 2.5x what I normally pay.

I asked him where he got my name, just wondering if someone told him that I was an *** or something. I was relieved to hear that he was just going down the NCDOI listed agents and cold calling.

If he's making any money, I don't know how he'd have time to do a thing like that, real list vendors have mammoth accounts and can barely return phone calls.
 
That's actually a pretty common practice. I still get calls from folks I worked with once upon a time that charged me a fortune. Usually there are lackeys in the office that are junior account executives that cold call or whatever to build a book and when they get enough they start their own team.
