Have you encountered annoying phone calls, where people call you up, repeatedly, to sell you products & services that you have absolutely no interest in?
Well, i have. Called hundreds of people to persuade them to sell their flats (Hey, i was a telemarketer last year, just to earn some extra money...)
Anyway, i no longer work as one, but here are some solution and advice, both from personal experience as well as some i have gotten from the internet. Enjoy
10. Yah.. I would like to pay by credit card, but i just filed for bankruptcy.
9. What are you wearing right now? / What did you have for dinner? / Do you believe in love at first sight? / anything to divert attention away.
8. I'm wearing ... / I had fish ball noodles... / I go for girls with inner beauty... /anything to continue diverting the attention.
7. How do you spell your name? Your company name? Where do you stay? Where is your company located (deflect the questions back to him)
6. Ohh.. isn't you from my primary/secondary school/college/ university/village / neighbourhood... ... haven't seen you in a while, how have you been? ... on and on and on...
5. Scream at the top of your voice, Oh my God, I have to hang up, and *slap the phone
4. Can you fax all the information that you have just said for the past 30 minutes to this number (give a fake number...preferably your office/government agencie/police station..)
3. Hey, you have my address right, can you drop by and get me some beer/food/lend me some money?? i am under house arrest/my home is being pestered by loansharks (credit companies)
2. Can you speak very slowly, I have to write all this down.
1. What? What? I can't hear you. / Or speak in a dialect/foreign language / or just curse and swear until the telemarketer backs away.
P.S. I still dun know why i can go about doing my telemarketing job for a month or so, although i made zero sales / a handful of appointments / plenty of rejection and furious customers.
P.P.S I sorry if i have disturbed you or your family back in early 2004... ... If you stay in Woodlands (Singapore), there is a higher chance that i have cause you some annoyance on one faithful night.
