13 Fun Things To Do To Get Salespeople on the Phone to Hang Up
1. If they want to loan 당신 money, tell them 당신 just filed for bankruptcy and 당신 could sure use some money. Ask, "How long can I keep it? Do I have to ever pay it back, 또는 is it like the other money I borrowed before my bankruptcy?"
2. If 당신 get one of those pushy people who won't shut up, just listen to their sales pitch. When they try to close the sale, tell them that you'll need to go get your credit card. Then, just set the phone down and go do laundry, shopping 또는 whatever. See how long that commission based scum waits for 당신 to get your credit card.
3. If they start out with, "How are 당신 today?" say, "Why do 당신 want to know?" 또는 당신 can say, "I'm so glad 당신 asked, because no one seems to care these days and I have all these problems, my sciatica is 연기 up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died...." When they try to get back to the sales process, just continue on with telling about your problems.
4. If the person says he's Joe Doe from the ABC Company, ask him to spell his name, then ask him to spell the company name, then ask where it is located. Continue asking personal 질문 또는 질문 about the company for as long as necessary.
5. This one works better if 당신 are male: Telemarketer: "Hi, my name is Julie and I'm with Dodger & Peck Services.... You: "Hang on a second." (few 초 pause) "Okay, (in a really husky voice) what are 당신 wearing?"
6. Crying out, in well-simulated tones of pleasure and surprise, "Julie!! Is this really you? I can't believe it! Julie, how have 당신 BEEN?" Hopefully, this will give Julie a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where the heck she could know 당신 from.
7. Say, "No," over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each no, and keep an even tempo even as they're trying to speak. This is the most fun if 당신 can keep going until they hang up.
8. If MCI calls trying to get 당신 to sign up with their Family and 프렌즈 plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as 당신 can muster, "I don't have any friends...would 당신 be my friend?"
9. If they clean rugs: "Can 당신 get blood out, 당신 can? Well, how about goat blood 또는 HUMAN blood - chicken blood too?"
10. Let the person go through their spiel, providing minimal but necessary feedback in the form of an occasional "Uh-huh, really, or, "That's fascinating." Finally, when they ask 당신 to buy, ask them to marry you. They get all flustered, but just tell them 당신 couldn't give your credit card number to someone who's a complete stranger.
11. Tell them 당신 work for the same company they work for. Example: Telemarketer: "This is Bill from Widget & Associates." You: "Widget & Associates!! 저기요 I work for them too. Where are 당신 calling from?" Telemarketer: "Uh, Dallas, Texas." You: "Great, they have a group there too? How's business/the weather? Too bad the company has a policy against selling to employees! Oh well, see ya."
12. Tell the Telemarketer 당신 are busy and if they will give 당신 their phone number 당신 will call them back. If they say they are not allowed to give out their number, then ask them for their 집 number and tell them 당신 will call them at 집 (this is usually the most effective method of getting rid of Telemarketers). If the person says, "Well, I don't really want to get a call at home," say, "Ya! Now 당신 know how I feel." (smiling, of course...)
13. My personal 가장 좋아하는 way to Make a Telemarketer Go Away involves the help of my 3 년 old son. When they call & ask to speak with Mr. Stevens, I explain they want the "other Mr. Stevens". As I hand the phone to my son, I tell him to explain all the fun things he did that day, from the detailed slimy booger he picked & where he wiped it, to his 가장 좋아하는 & most proud stories about "pooping in the toilet." He is so proud of the shapes he can make. Usually after a few 분 of running around on the cordless phone explaining How proud he was with the details of his day, he comes back & says" they Hung up". Imagine the rudeness of some people.....Go figure....
