Tales of a Telemarketer

[Riley G]

Now as some people know I've been working at a call center for the past months and I'm a telemarketer and needless to say I get told off a lot exspeacial when I'm calling on American systems and particularly in California but I figured I'd share some of them and my smartass remarks as well.

Customer: Why don't you give me your number and I'll call you at quater to nine
Me: Well it's already quarter to 11 and you'd probably rack up a hell of a long distance bill calling Canada every day...
Customer: Fuck off
CLICK

My Friend: I'm calling on behalf of Bank of America Insurance Services
Customer: Suck my balls
My Friend: Excuse me
Customer: Suck my balls
CLICK

Customer: TAKE ME OFF THE FUCKING LIST!
Me: Only if you say please.
CLICK
I selected call back on that one

Me: I'm calling on behalf of Bank of America...
Customer: I'm not interested
Me: Your not interested in what?
Customer: Any insurance
Me: Well that's not what I'm offering today (A Lie)
Customer: Then what are you offering
Me: Insurance
Customer: I thought you said...
CLICK (I hung up on them that time)

The idiots could just put themselves on the National No Call list like I am. But then they would just be pestered every day with people asking for donations....like I am.

That made me smile.

I'm on the no-call list, so I only get calls from people asking for donations. I just hang up on them.

[Samoa JOWNED~!]

I like to string them along and make them think that they've made a sale, then at the very end I just say I'm not that interested and hang up. Wasted their time and it's fun!

Trust me we love people wasting our time it's just makes for less calls and we're still geting paid the same.

And Kev I call some many people on that National Do Not Call list it's not even funny. The thing people don't realise is that list doesn't apply if you have a business relationship with a company.
