ONLINE-ADS>> A Rant About Online Sales Reps

Call it a bad day or bad week, but I just (and finally)
finished making my media buys for October and I had the
hardest time getting the sales reps from the sites where I
wanted to advertise to call me back! Maybe it's just me,
but after locating the sites that interest me )and sometimes
I find sites where I definitely know I want to advertise on)
I email the sales contacts and call, trying desperately to
get a rep on the phone...well, I never get a rep, and after
3 emails asking for someone to pleeeeease call me back today
because "I want to buy"...no dice, no call. Why is this?
Is everyone so drowning in money and so completely sold out
of inventory that they don't need my sale? Additionally,
I've been trying to make my buys toward the end of the month
to get better rates from sales reps trying to make their
quotas etc, so you'd think that a willing buyer would be
welcome.

Has anyone experienced the same thing? How do you get
responses when you need them?
