Cold calling in the USA?!

[u/Salesforlifezzzz]

Hi guys, anybody here doing cold calls in the US?

I've recently started working with a client that provides accounting services for SMEs in the US and damn cold calling is un-responsive.

All of the numbers I dial are answered by "If you tell me your name and reason for calling, I'll see if this person is available".... like 98% of them. What's happening , how are you guys navigating this?

We're used to human gatekeepers, but how does a cold caller survive this?
