This kind of stuff continues to stress me out

Young and persistent. A good thing in an entry-level BDR (business development rep). I would either ignore them (don't answer, after all, it was a cold call) or tell them, "Yes, we are glad to schedule you for June 2024. Please forward the 10K commission now to hold your place on the schedule." I have some of their guitar pedals that I like (Yellow Falls, Mad Square, Noise Killer, Dark Horizon, Emo-Amp controller. They were cheap (about $39) and worked well for some dirty guitar work (on expensive Gretsch guitars.) I've never heard of the products they were bugging you about, but they are in China, just trying to make a living like everyone else. Funny, I have expensive pedals (Electro harmonics), cheap ones (Donner), and everything in between. Enjoy what you do, make good decisions, and let others do all the ridiculous "outrage" stuff. People are people and can be very ugly. But they can also be beautiful.

I feel ya....that's frustrating and shameless - from your side it must feel very disrespectful. Honestly, to me it just feels like a marketer who needs to manage their relationships better and have available notes about things like that. Being pushy and negligent of people's schedules is a great way to burn bridges. If I were in your spot, I know I would be inclined to not work with them again because of this alone. It reminds me of some of the stuff I hate most in marketing - when you sign up for something once, and then they blast two emails at you every day for eternity. Obviously a bit different, but that's where my mind goes. Ah well, I am too crochety for this sorta thing 😂 I'm sorry you get stuck with it though!
