I'm looking for tips/tricks/suggestions etc

On Targeted shops, when you have a hard time getting your target, what are some excuses you have used to get them? Suggestions for why you called?

Currently working on an apartment targeted shop, and my target happens to be the manager who has been verrrry difficult to reach. I have had this assignment extended in hopes I can reach him. One trouble I have is calling and reaching the same person (And they do not accept blocked calls). I can only hang up so many times, and ask so many questions without raising suspicion.

I have asked for the address, if they have larger than advertised units, hours for the weekend, amenities not mentioned on their website, and trying to disguise my voice (I'm not very good at it lmao but I had already talked to the same person 3 times and panicked haha)

I finally reached the 5th call where I was allowed to request the target. The person I talked to would not connect me without a valid reason. Saying I was told by a current tenant that Target was thee person to talk to did not work.

Thanks in advance for anything you have in your arsenal :D

These are earned by doing online/phone shops to colleges as they become available. Some companies will not accept a shopper if they do not have much experience, so try and get them as you can, then you may be able to get the better paying ones.
