So the other day ...

Notice something about the numbers?
So the other day my church called me. And I picked up.
There was a live person on the other end who proceeded to completely ignore me picking up my phone and just rattled off their script.

I smiled and quietly hung up at the end. I figured they probably got nervous and weren't prepared for a real person to answer the phone.

But it was still funny.

Question:
Do automated or scripted calls really work? And how do you feel when you get called by your church/school/club to be reminded about one of their events? Does it help or annoy? I'm undecided.

I probably lean more toward annoy. But whats a good way of getting information to people or getting people to respond to information?
