We are harped on this ALL THE TIME at veterinary school. No matter HOW MUCH we want to, are right, or think it would help the animal, being rude to the client is NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVAR the right thing.
Now, the practicality, is sometimes that's not true and with the right client, crossing the line drives a point home. But, these days, that's a very rare client.

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.

Ah, you mean because they want to sell my boss storm windows or vinyl siding. *NM*

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?"

You don’t have to transfer for them if they refuse but you should still ask politely
