It’s very simple to understand why people hate receiving market survey calls
It’s for the same reason people hate receiving sales calls or calls asking you to donate to something.
In all of those cases the caller is making an assumption: That it is ok to imterrupt the person receiving the call,
and take “just a few minutes” of their time. This is a very rude assumption. it assumes that
1) whatever the person being called is doing is not important and can be interrupted.
2) their time is not valuable.
if you need some one to give you time and information,
please realize that your desire for the information does NOT obligate anyone
to give you their time or the information.
Your priority is NOT their priority.
If they are kind enough to give you their time, realize that they are doing you a favor.
Voice calls are the most disruptive amd annoyimg. Texts are nearly as bad.
Email is best, because allows the person to get to it when they have time (not when you have time to call them)
You will get a smaller percentage of replies to email requests. Some people will just delete the message and ignore you.
But, the responses you do get are likely to be less annoyed, and more useful.
in your email, try to explain (very brielfy) why you want the information,
and offer to share the results of your survey to anyone who contributes a response.
BTW, there is a setting on iphones to send calls from unrecognized numbers directly to voicemail.
I never get interrupted by unsolicited phone ringing when I’m sleeping, or any other time
