Is it a problem or an opportunity in disguise?

Do you answer your phone when you don't recognize the number calling? I tend to let those roll to voicemail. I assume if it's someone who needs to speak with me, they'll leave a message. I it's a telemarketer, I won't have to talk with them. This Saturday morning as I was walking through the farmer's market, my phone rang. I looked to see who was calling. While I didn't recognize the number, I did notice it was a number that had called me multiple times over the past two weeks, so I answered it. Good morning, Susan, I hope [...]
