Let's say you use the Asterisk DB() stuff for your caller ids, storing
them in a branch called "book" like
book/16175551234 "John Doe"
book/12125559876 "Jane Miller"

Then you could go with a logic like

exten => s,1,Set(CALLERID(name)=${DB(book/${CALLERID(num)})})
exten => s,2,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(name)}" = ""]?3:100)
exten => s,3,---your business customers go here---

exten => s,100,--- friends go here ---
