Annoying Salesmen
I am sooo naffed off
Had a call from a chap this afternoon who opened the conversation with "how much for 1000 business Cards" He then very quickly changed the conversation around to what he could do for me and my business......after 5 mins of holding the phone away from my ear and letting him rant on...i politly ended the conversation with "It's not for us thank you" Just wasted 5 mins of my time......I am not interested in what you have for sale...it is a networking forum not a place to pick up cold calling data

This seems to be a way some of the cold callers are going now, they show an interest in your product/service to get you in the right frame of mind (ie you think you are talking to a potential customer rather than a slimey bottom feeder)
Then they turn the conversation round to start trying to sell. sometimes im in the right mood so i have some fun with them, but other times i just cant be bothered with them so hit that red button. Andy.

When I get a canvasser call I simply state you need the business owner...I will just go to get them
pop the phone onto the desk and go off to make a cuppa... for some reason, when I pick up the receive they have gone

I hate cold callers. If the call has been warmed up then I ain't gotta problem. After all, aren't all self employed salespeeps?
