This is an interesting pattern that I have noticed, and much of my work is in a similar vein. I have to be able to accept unknown numbers for my work. As a result, I pick up on a lot of robocalls. When it comes to business numbers, there really isn't a good solution for this.
I'd be interested to see if an entirely new business model rises up out of this. Some kind of verified business network of phone numbers people pay a small fee per month (per call?) to get assurance that it's a legit business call. A sort of for-pay group whitelisting.
At the very least, when it comes to my private number, I decline any call I do not recognize and I figure that if they are legit, they will either:
1) Call back immediately
2) Leave a voice mail and I can call them back in a minute.
It's tedious, but a sort of call/re-call seems to be like a kind of workaround to this. It's just a very tedious thing when it comes to stuff like doctors offices calling form a new number, 2FA from some website, or anyone I might not have saved in my contacts list.
