Cheesy, bordering sleazy phone sales tactics???????

[Dottonedan]

Yea, just the first week of getting on some ones register as a new business, I get the phone calls every day. Before I can get my schpeel out, an automated message starts blabbing about the credit card offer they have for me or the alarm system or the yellow page ad etc.


Sheesh. Can someone call about ordering tees. Just so I can practice my schpeel.

"Hello, my name is Dave..." Yeah, sure it is; you can barely pronounce it. Can't hang up fast enough. But, I'm on the phone all day. Customers, at least mine, like to talk to people.

Its funny how they want to use western names to make us more comfortable yet they do nothing to address their absolutely horrible english skills which is much more important. I wouldn't care if a persons name Goonie Goo Goo as long as his/hers english skills were adequate.

I got a call from the bank down the road because they saw I had registered as a new business.  Funny thing was it was someone I know that works there.  He didn't realize who he was calling.  He's a free mason and I couldn't think of anything clever to say to him to freak him out... so I asked another free mason so I would be prepared next time.

I've taken up the hobby of a BS form of turning the tables--"I'm glad you called, we have a great special running if you print an order of seventy two or more shirts with us this month!" 

I'm hoping some day I actually pull off selling a job like that, I'll want to frame a copy of the invoice.

I tried to sell a banner ad to a guy pushing ASI a few weeks back.

If I am sitting here doing art I will just put them on speaker and lead them on like I am interested. They want to waste my time I will do it right back. After about 50 uh huh, what was that? They get the hint or I just hang up. They are gauged on how many contacts they make and if I can bring that guys numbers down for the day why not......lol

Same here, when they call the computer shop I always say "I'm very interested but first let me tell you what we do and I'd like to see you guys use us for all your computer needs, it only seems fair right?"

Dudes...do what I do...i start moaning and tell them to give me a sec because i am getting a oral pleasure ....some of them stay on the line while i moan....

[mk162]

yeah, what they are doing on the other end is far more disturbing.  You're just giving the guy some material for his spank bank

Yeah my wife tried that one before. The guy started calling on his own time and being really stupid so that is not done anymore.
