Or maybe how to get access to more people who may be more interested in what you have to offer. As the Ikea company says "Think outside the box we live in".

I found if have a look at the companies website you can find direct numbers that by pass the switch.
Call at different times and Places If you know they are in a club. Go to that club to meet them after hours. Getting involved in clubs etc. is a fantastic way to promote your services.
