English term or phrase: even have phones anymore let alone
Estimados:

Junto con saludar, agradecería a ustedes ayudarme con la traducción de la idea "even have phones anymore let alone", el texto trata sobre la búsqueda de clientes por teléfono. A continuación les adjunto el párrafo en donde aparece la idea.

Telephone Prospecting Tips Article #1: Getting the Right Mindset and Attitude
Prospecting is back! Who would’ve thought that good ole traditional prospecting and picking up the phone to proactively call (and interrupt) prospects (without permission) would become so popular again? Heck, for all the abuse and lies heaped upon prospecting and prospectors the past five years, I’m surprised that we even have phones anymore let alone that there’s now this great desire to learn how to use them effectively.

Muchas gracias!
Ángela M.
