I worked in Industrial Sales for years, believe me keeping the business fed with orders that they can make at a profit isn't easy , and no one ever thanks you from either side . However we were dealing with pros,and with their buying power you had to respect them . I don't like recieving telesales calls myself although I always try to conclude them without being impolite ,the idea of a housebound invalid living on benefits getting this sort of pressure though is upsetting.
I say, I say , I say - what do you call an unexpected courtesy call ?
My best audience of the week !!
I like to put them off their script too. When sales people phone my restaurant which they do everyday - I always treat them as if they are a customer - and ask them what time they want to book a table and how many is it for - I mean why else would you phone a restaurant during lunch time?
Those that are apologetic and smile about it - I make an appointment for them to phone back (I mean it is a bloody tough way to earn a living so no point in not giving folk a chance) but 9 out of 10 are unable to deviate from there script and just end up hanging up on me.
Hi I have had the same problem all I did was call my telecoms provider
and ask if they could do something about the calls, I was abel to put a bar on calls which had number with held, great , oh s--t some friends could not call me
there is another service which bars cold calling from call centres and auto dialed numbers this is the telephone preferance service
I hope this helps
