I've seen that error a lot.

I was worked for a recruitment company once who had a recruitment company contact them for help finding candidates for their jobs. I asked which jobs did they refer to (expecting them to be a recruitment to recruitment firm). To my amazement they listed jobs that my company was promoting on the website.

It is always important to do research on your prospects before you pick up the phone. Know why you are calling and that they are an appropiate prospect. If you make calls for the sake of calls - you're just a busy fool.
