Have you put your numbers on the do not call list?
Many of us have but how many of us file a report when you get an unwanted call?
To make these calls, each person to keep the job needs to make a certain number of calls and have a certain success rate. Nasty-perhaps but so is a call as you sit down to diner etc. Rather than hanging up quickly you want to keep them on the phone as long as possible.
Your conversation can be-I'm very interested in your free trip to........ Just one minute I'm in the middle of making my mom's tomato sauce. Please hold on I just need to stir it.
You come back and allow them to start the pitch again.
You then ask them to hold, you just need to check the salt. Ask them if they think it needs more salt. I once got to Basel.
They do not often call me-go figure.
