It's been about that since I saw one of my sisters...... But I believe there may be different reasons there.....

Always fun to pass on little bits of embarassing info

Tips for Handling Telemarketers

Three Little Words That Work !!

(1)The three little words are: "Hold On, Please..."

Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt.

Then when you eventually hear the phone company's "beep-beep-beep" tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task.

These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.


(2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end?

This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records the time of day when a person answers the phone.


This technique is used to determine the best time of day for a "real" sales person to call back and get someone at home.

What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly as possible This confuses the machine that dialed the call and it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer !!!

(3) Junk Mail Help:
When you get "ads" enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these "ads" with your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away.

When you get those "pre-approved" letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope.

Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them more than the regular 37 cents postage "IF" and when they receive them back.

It costs them nothing if you throw them away! The postage was around 50 cents before the last increase and it is according to the weight. In that case, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage-paid return envelopes.

One of Andy Rooney's (60 minutes) ideas.
Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their blank application back!
If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them.

You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them 37 cents.

The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own junk back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM them. Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all they're paying for it...Twice!

Let's help keep our postal service busy since they are saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need to increase postage costs again. You get the idea !

If enough people follow these tips, it will work ---- I have been doing this for years, and I get very little junk mail anymore.

THIS JUST MIGHT BE ONE E-MAIL THAT YOU WILL WANT TO FORWARD TO YOUR FRIENDS

After the fun you guys have at the WA meetings, it should be good. Yes Melbourne is a long way for you....

 

[rozweb]

Sounds great... how many arms have you twisted approx

 

[Gil_T2]

i'm sure your being like every other lady who can't see her beauty as we can, ladies are their own worst critics i've discovered.

 

[Cadoras]

OOhhh, hugs and roses today, makes for a nice start to the week
* cheek*

I'm glad your week's off to such a good start

*Kisses Roz's cheek*

Maybe the rest of the week will be even better?

When it comes to the bags under the eyes from starting work at 6am, It's not critical... It's the truth

PML isn't everything a long way from WA ???? ppl think of Aust as that island in the pacific but we are almost the size of the US which confuses a lot of yanks.

 

[australwind]

Apart from me, there are two probables and one possible................

 

[Cadoras]

Hey there Austral

when i look at ladies i look at the whole picture not bit by bit & besides we all have faults.

 

[Cadoras]

Well, I've been to two.... They were both alot of fun, and we had 5 or 6 people, so if you just get a small group like that, you should have heaps of fun, but the more the merrier

Hey there Austral

Hello again guys...

Just back from the hospital myself - and it's official... I'm going under the knife! I even managed to beat Gil to the table too (going in 1030 tomorrow).

I'm sure you'll understand if I don't appear here tomorrow - I don't think they would appreciate my using their terminals to log in here - and I'm NOT taking the laptop in there!

Catch you later...
