Telemarketers say 'Thanks for the Phone List', donotcall rule not valid!
 

Hi... I was wondering if you'd like to switch to our really great phone company... mumbling? ...ok.. I'll take that as a yes.

hmmmm

I knew this would happen.

Just another scammy way to collect the data on everyone by the government and the telemarketing whores.

Who would want to call them anyway? It's like mailing a remove list, a waste of time.

You're kidding right?

You've never done telephone sales before. You can close people that hang up on you, say no to you, say not interested, easily if you know the right closing techniques.

You just knock down every objection they throw at you one by one.

If you want to learn how to be a top closer, go work at a phone room. Its the best selling education you'll ever get.

KRL closes every sale

:winkwink:

but for the rest of us it is a numbers game so just a huge list to work with.

I agree, there are some slick sales people working them rooms.

Indeed.
Did you see the movie Boiler Room ? (with Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck)
It's about stock brokers.

The judge ruled that the FCC, not the FTC needs to manage the list.

If the government really wants the list, they can switch it over in a matter of days.

Thats why you say

Hallo, no Englis.
Hokay bye.

:1orglaugh

totally true.... I did some telemarketing part-time when I was in law school. Closed 1 out of 7 calls on average. Folks hate telemarketers, but they buy from them none the less.

Coffee is for closers!

if you tell enough of them to go fuck themselves, they eventually stop calling.

and they hate spam, but buy from it


and they hate direct mail/flyers, but they buy from it


and they hate TV commercials, but they buy that shit too...


we can't legislate away all advertising mediums because people are grumpy about how our economy works...




IF you want a peaceful, quiet country to live in, try some of the 3rd world countries out, they don't have much spam or many telemarketers or direct mailers...

the only noise you hear and can complain about there is the gunfire from people that are broke and pissed....

You can't close Jesus.

Yup, Satan tried but he couldn't do it either :1orglaugh

I agree :)

the ruling will be reversed

Not all of us put out on the first phone call though! :Graucho
