You had better identify yourself when you call me...

I could use a subscription to People (sorry - guilty pleasure).

Never, I hate your ilk. You, as a person I like very much, but I hate your ilk. The telemarketer ilk is just below the lawyer ilk and just above the used car salesman ilk, or about even with the IRS auditor ilk, which are all below the venomous snake ilk. The whole reason for this post is so I could use ilk a bunch of times.

But hey, good luck in your new job!

Congrats honey

..as a telemarketer.

Want any magazines?

See if you can make international calls, and if you try and sell me Sport magazine, I'm buying.

way cool on getting a job never ... congrats ... i bet your sales pitch would be more interesting then the average telemarketing person

 

[Debbie]

good luck Never. It's a hard job. I know because I work for a market research company and have done my time as a telemarketer. My job was different tho not selling but doing surveys ranging from product testing through to political surveys. It is a hard job as no one likes to be called at home and have their privacy invaded.
Let us know how your first day was

I found that during my short time as a phone sales representative (that other word burns my ears...or fingers in this case) That the best way to make any kind of sale was to try and shorten the name that they show you. The worst thing that can happen is that they hang up on you and you move onto the next 100 or so calls before the shift is over. If they respond favorably, then you've already got a person on the line that might never have spoken with a..um...telephone sales support...person.

The next step is to do the next thing they tell you not to do--don't read the damn script. They lie, it doesn't work. Just improvise interesting tidbits and you'll strike gold.

Don't take no for an answer! But "Go to hell you goat sucking ass pirate" is acceptable.

Follow these steps and you too can feel great about fleecing the jink out of your fellow man!

My last day of surveying

 

[Cheyenne]

I apologize in advance for hanging up on you, Never. Since if you really are selling magazines, that's exactly what I'd do if you call me. Unless, of course, you start the conversation with "Hey, Cheyenne. This is Never calling." Then I might stay on the line for a few minutes.

This is so odd, that I am lost.

Lavender being nice?
Never reading and selling books?

This is uncharacteristic of the both of you.

Can I hire Never to read me the Literotica Book?

My job was different tho not selling but doing surveys ranging from product testing through to political surveys. It is a hard job as no one likes to be called at home and have their privacy invaded.

I am the exception to this rule. I adore doing phone surveys. If I'm not expecting a phone call and the phone rings, I openly wish for it to be a phone survey. I once spent an hour doing a survey on amusement parks in Texas, and by the time I'd hung up, I'd convinced the person asking the survey questions to go back to college. And whenever they sound stilted (like they're reading a script), I tell them I'll only continue to answer questions if they sound natural, and prompt them along the way. I've helped at least half a dozen people improve their speaking style by the end of the survey using this approach.

Characteristics of a person can be transformed with necessity.

Actually Never reading and selling books is quite in line with her character.

I was being sarcastic.

You are a nice woman lavender. Whether you admit it or not.

 

[Svedish_Chef]

Never is going to be working in a book store.

Good stuff Never... now just hold on to the Lit anthology for me


I will be working at the telemarketing place that she just declined. Can you imagine lavy as a telemarketer?

Same thing goes for you... check out the international phone stuff... you can sell me magazines.
