"Who is this" sounds less gracious and like more of a challenge.
You could try, "And who may I say is calling?" That is a nicer way to ask the question that actually asks the question you want answered

I think "May I ask who's calling" is more polite.

What do you do if they say "No" ?

Than you say. ''Ok." They may have a reason for not disclosing their name.

That reason is often that they are nutters.

I hate it when people pull the "attorney-client privilege" thing.

I'm of the opinion that when you are at work, you represent your employer

I typically say something along the lines of "And who am I speaking to?"

It's quite simple, really. Do you like getting paid? Then answer the phone the way your boss wants *NM*
