Well, we all hate phone interruptions between dinner or calls right when you’re putting your child to sleep. You know what I mean. I found that it makes me look funny, and not so funny for the telemarketers when they call me. They love to call me a lot lately, and for some unusual reason you can stop them, but they still call back.
Well, I decide to start by telling the caller to remove the caller from me. The second time I make a joke about something like that, the Telemarketer calls during dinner time and you say “Hello”! They try cheap and make you a sale and you want to say “No thanks”!, but at this point they try saying, “How about you give me your house number and I’ll call you back at lunch time to discuss the products. You want to sell me”! The response I usually get is, “Well, I can’t give you my number, but I’ll call you back later,” then you say, “I’m sorry, but how would you like to be interrupted (during lunchtime) or when you’re trying to get your kids to go to sleep? The telemarketer usually says sorry and hang up the phone and it will remove you from the Calling list. If they call, they usually stop after this. But if I have They call it the fourth plan back, and this time I pretend to be an officer and this person is so funny, so he’s scared when you say, “Hello, this is Officer so and so. I need you to stop so and so, or take legal action to settle this matter.” Usually the telemarketer said sorry and learn to remove you from the call list. After you’ve had a restful night and left with a good smile.
Everything else pretends to be a place or pizza, or something to take away food as they call it. I say “take it or give it up!” This confuses the hell out of telemarketers and they are likely to hang up and not call back. It’s another thing to pretend that I speak another language and act like I don’t understand it. Usually this telemarketer is frustrated and ends up directing you to an agent or an interpreter, and I’ll still speak in another language and keep the interview going for oh about ten minutes. For about ten minutes I usually say to them in English “I know what you’re trying to sell me, I understand you clearly, but how do I like to be frustrated at such stupid times?” They hang thick and do not recall because you were such a pain in the neck.
I do a lot of what they call telemarketers, and most of them work. If you don’t tell them your fine of 600, they call you constantly, and they usually call you again. Believe me, you will have enough dinner, and your children will sleep a little after you mess with them, while they are laughing well. I promise you, it will be worth it to just answer the phone and stop waiting! Try it! It’s worth it!
