The vast majority of people answering the phone at businesses blurt out some business name and 95% of the time you will have no idea at all what they just said. I was taught to say Good Morning (or afternoon if is was afternoon) then the name of the business then my name. Back in the olden days with rotary phones it was easy to misdial and with push button is is easy to fat finger the number.
It is nice to know when you got the right place. Of course if you are calling a legal firm with 8 or 9 partners and they all insist their name is said it must be hell on a receptionist. Some legal firms just answer the phone with "Legal office" and let you ask questions.
