They certainly have become more persistent. I even was transferred to a manager, just like a car dealership, who wanted to get me to commit to additional services right then. But I have also noticed that other companies are also being much more persistent and calling a lot more often than they used to and not taking "we aren't interested" as sign to stop calling. I wonder if it is a sign of the times in library publishing/databases.

I am wondering if anyone else has noticed if JOVE has become a lot more aggressive in their sales techniques. We have had recent dealings with them and it seems as if they have gotten extremely pushy lately. We have
been dealing with a particular salesman who is just overly aggressive and refusing to leave messages if I can't answer the phone right away.
