Hey if ur good at it u make quite some money as telemarketer... Unfortunately i cant take it when ppl call me names else it would be nice pocket money Hahaha ur mean....sometimes i have to do some telemarketing work for my boss...but i only call businesses some guys are talking about very different things....ending up asking me where im from and whens my bday =/ weird haha but i would definitely be laughing my self to death if a guy would ask that...
I've been receiving a lot of telemarketers too selling hotel membership packages. I have no idea how they get my info, but I'm sure they share it with all the other telemarketers. When I said "I'm not interested", they still want 5 minutes of my time. At first after they finish rambling, I ask them to fax the package to me because I say "What you say verbally may not be what you really give me." because I suspect they really cannot fax and I was right when they say "Sorry, this is via phone only" which I can safely end with "Ok, then I cannot buy what you're selling verbally. You can just lie." Until.... one of them asked for my fax number. Haha... Now it's a lot easier. I'll just say "I'm not interested, but I know you have to fill up your quota to introduce your package. Just say what you want, when you're done, just shout to get my attention. I'll place my phone on the desk until I hear your shout which should be audible."... and they hang up.
rejections..rejections... that's what you get as a telemarketer. I normally politely tell them that I'm not interested and then put down the phone. They try to entice you with a 'special offer' that in most times turn out to be an expensive option. Remember, do not commit verbally on the phone as they tape the conversation and any agreement is binding as it was taped when challenged. Be warned!!!
:( i am doing some telemarketing stuf atm....damn i suck at it....first person i called hung up in my ear... how i hate that
^ gotta get used to it not everyone likes to listen to a telemarketer advertising their stuff, best ppl to call to is the elderly lol
^ ha yeah my friend works at some telemarketing place and she says that people hang up on her all the time. it must suck a lot ... I won't hang up on you if you call my house .. but then ofc I wouldn't know it's you .. -lol
ok michelle gimme ur number...at least i know u wont hang up on me nah...im not trying to sell stuff...im calling other businesses to find out the names of their GM's and CFO's
of course not....we looking for new customers in order to do that we have to send out letters to the right ppl... if we direct it to the receptionist she will chuck it before it even reaches the right person
when I was like 7 or 8, I always used to answer the phone in a British accent, and when they started talking I'd be like "What business do you have with Ms Bunton?" (baby spice!) ok yeah that was random
