The Art of Telemarketing

This is just a rant/funny bit about my day job. It was inspired when I was talking to Grant (bakaru) on Stickam the other night, mentioned my job and he responded, "You people call me during dinner!"

Enjoy guys.

haha.

telemarketing, as annoying as it is, can be really fun to mess with sometimes.

...sorry if i ever do it to you haha.

[thefilmgeek87]

I would have to be nice to you I guess. I think it would pretty much make me the worst person in the world for ME to be mean to other telemarketers. Haha. Thanks.

[MadamSlutterfly]

That's too funny. So hurtfully true.

[thefilmgeek87]

Oh no, have I truly been graced with a comment from X herself? *bows* Why thank you.

[Holovirus]

[thefilmgeek87]

Not only does she call you but she posts stupid videos to waste your time too. Took about 10 seconds to realize this video has ZERO value. Longer than I would have listened to the phone call anyway.

[youngrelleus19]

Hi Nicole I hope you still visit this I was a telemarketeer for about ten years then I started working with companies to show them better ways to do it. The company that employes you doesn't care about you or their customers enough to do it well. I liked the pitch you designed as a marketing blurb but the better thing to do is talk to people. If you were to have called people and asked what sort of things they just couldn't live without knowing about. you would have been able to show value

[JoseSalasblanca]

i was a telemarketer too. every call is a potential sale, never give up at the first "not interested" answer. her situation was worse than mine 'cause i called existing customers. i never made more than 100 calls per day.

[fspdallas]

You should be more positive. You aren't really bothering someone with a quick phone call. You have a chance to change someones life forever. I am always disappointed with cold calls i get from newspaper-tele-marketers. They are such weak salespeople. One "not interested" and they give up. People dont wait around to buy... but they can still be sold. Be proud of your product and you can sell it to anyone, even republicans. Everyone is a buyer. peace.

That bein said. There is a law saying that once contact is made with the customer in relation to one of said promotions, if the customer says "Do not call me again" it is THEN illegal for us to call them again. box ticked or not ;) jus a tip from ur friendly neighbourhood telemarketer... becos we care. lmao

[sorceress777]

With regard to DNC list - i work in call centre myself, there are certain laws that allow companies to call customers they have a current and ongoing relationship with in regard to promotionals etc. So yes, someone may be one the dnc list, but if they haven't ticked the box in .05 font on the bottom of their enrolment paper saying "i wouldnt prefer to not be not contacted for promotions" or somthin equally as confusin... then ya outa luck. sorry.
