Ok, I feel like I should post some of my experiences from when I telemarketed...
1-when someone picks up the phone, there is a delay from when you say "hi is xxx there" to when the name of the person you're calling appears on your screen. So:
I had a call that went something like this:
ring
"hello"
pause
name appears on screen Chocko, Chocko
I'm like ??
so I say " hi is Chocko There? "
He says, "Which Chocko you want?"
I say....." Chocko Chocko "
He says "no Chocko Chocko not here..."
I laughed hard at that.
Another one:
Ring
"hi is Mr Green there?"
"ya that's me"
"Hi, how are you?"
(he lived in Hawaii)
"Oh, well the sun is shining, the weather is perfect, oh, I just saw a dolphin jump up in the air !"
"oh wow, that's great !"
"ya, too bad I'm stuck inside on an Iron Lung !"
"oh....so....you wanna buy some coffee?"
another one
ring
"hi is Mr Jones there"
"Sure, you can find him down the street at the cemetary"
click....
and finally,
One time, I was so sick of getting hung up on, that when a woman hung up on me, I hit the F7 key (which is to quickly call right back the last number in case we got disconnected while in the middle of a sale.)
calls right back..
"hello"
I hung up.....
lol, so illegal, and so fun
I didn't last too long at that job....
