The last couple solicitor calls I've gotten have had a very long delay between making the connection and the autodialer shunting me into some poor lost soul's cubicle headset.
Generally I...
1) Launch into my own sales pitch for upgrading their PBX equipment.
2) Three words: "Verbatim Repeat Back"
3) Put them on speakerphone and go back to what I was doing.
4) Answer the phone with the most ridiculous string of official greetings I've strung together from various quarterdeck watches I've had to stand. "Good Morning. Space and Submarine Warefare Command, Systems Integration and Assembly, Reactive Armor Division, Shop 28. Petty Officer 1010011010 Speaking. This line is not secure for classifed exchange. How may I help you sir or ma'am?"
5) Some combination of the above.
