so when having professional phone calls at work, its gotten to the point that asking ‘how are you?’ seems tone deaf. is it just me?

I’ve always found this to be out of place at work. I get about 3-4 soliciting calls a day and they all lead with this line. All of our actual customers jump straight to business. “Hey. I was wondering if I could put in an order?”
I open with “Thank you for calling –. My name is –. What can I do for you today?”
