13 Fun Things To Do To Get Salespeople on the Phone to Hang Up
1. If they want to loan あなた money, tell them あなた just filed for bankruptcy and あなた could sure use some money. Ask, "How long can I keep it? Do I have to ever pay it back, または is it like the other money I borrowed before my bankruptcy?"
2. If あなた 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 または whatever. See how long that commission based scum waits for あなた to get your credit card.
3. If they start out with, "How are あなた today?" say, "Why do あなた want to know?" または あなた can say, "I'm so glad あなた asked, because no one seems to care these days and I have all these problems, my sciatica is 芝居 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 質問 または 質問 about the company for as long as necessary.
5. This one works better if あなた are male: Telemarketer: "Hi, my name is Julie and I'm with Dodger & Peck Services.... You: "Hang on a second." (few 秒 pause) "Okay, (in a really husky voice) what are あなた 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 あなた BEEN?" Hopefully, this will give Julie a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where the heck she could know あなた 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 あなた can keep going until they hang up.
8. If MCI calls trying to get あなた to sign up with their Family and フレンズ plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as あなた can muster, "I don't have any friends...would あなた be my friend?"
9. If they clean rugs: "Can あなた get blood out, あなた can? Well, how about goat blood または 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 あなた to buy, ask them to marry you. They get all flustered, but just tell them あなた couldn't give your credit card number to someone who's a complete stranger.
11. Tell them あなた work for the same company they work for. Example: Telemarketer: "This is Bill from Widget & Associates." You: "Widget & Associates!! こんにちは I work for them too. Where are あなた 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 あなた are busy and if they will give あなた their phone number あなた will call them back. If they say they are not allowed to give out their number, then ask them for their ホーム number and tell them あなた will call them at ホーム (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 あなた know how I feel." (smiling, of course...)
13. My personal お気に入り way to Make a Telemarketer Go Away involves the help of my 3 年 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 お気に入り & most proud stories about "pooping in the toilet." He is so proud of the shapes he can make. Usually after a few 分 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....
