CALL THEM ANYWAYS!
"The online application said not to call." "I don't want to bug the person."
Asking someone how your applications process is not the worst thing you could do!
It's
kind of you to think that way, because etiquette is about consideration for the
other person. But unless you are applying for a position where you are expected
to sit around waiting for the phone to ring, you should make the call.
How we behave in the interview (or sales) process is an indication of how we will behave in the job. So make the call!

Show them you are a self-starter with initiative --
not someone they will have to light a fire under. Same goes for sales or
account representatives -- will you be the person who checks in with the client
to see how the product or service is working? Or will you disappear?
