A Message For Telemarketers
A lot of the time I don't answer these calls. When I do, I usually listen to the introductory, then tell you I am not interested. I try to be polite because you too are trying to earn a living. But if you ramble like a race horse so I can't get a word in edgewise, I have no problem telling you in more vivid terms.
Telemarketers, Here Are My Rules For You:
1) If your caller ID is blocked, or says unknown name, you havn't a hope in h@&&, because if I were going to participate in something I would want to know who I am talking to. No I won't take your word for it.
2)If you call at my mealtime, not yours, you will be rejected. So you better study the time zones.
3) If you have an accent, you better speak slowly and clearly. I have no intention of trying to figure out what you are saying because you are talking rapidly so I can't respond.
4) If you have a bad connection, or a headset that isn't working right, get it fixed. I don't plan on allowing for your technical difficulties. (I have had this happen numerous times lately.)
5) If you use a computer calling system, you better answer immediately. I am sick of saying hello hello hello hello and finally a click and a sales pitch. I will not be listening.
6) If I say I am not interested, I am not. No amount of bantering is going to change that.
7) Read 1 to 6 again.
8) Think you can sell me something by this method? Your chances of winning the lottery are a lot higher,nice playing with you..
