I don't believe people pay for unlisted numbers because it serves their sense of self-importance, I think they pay for them so that their precious family time is not interupted by cold callers who can be very persistant and irritating. Affluent people are constantly being approached for solicitations. To be quite honest with you, I believe if you obtain their unlisted number at home and call them there with a sales pitch, you'll probably piss them off more than interest them no matter how good your offer is.
All business numbers are listed. Why not approach them through their business? Even the most obstructive secretary can deliver a short message.
