Any tips?

Fentastic Posted at 1:53 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 I work as a telemarketer, and I love it. FutileRhetoric Posted at 12:32 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Thanks for all the tips everyone, I know it's a shitty job and no one wants to do it, but that's why the pay is so high, $20 an hour. I do promise I won't call any of you here. :) NikkiMikki Posted at 12:27 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Quit immediately? Al Legator Posted at 12:26 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Tip 1: Don't call ME! Tip 2: You already know what most people think of telemarketers. Don't just "try" not to take anything you hear personally, do NOT take it personally. They don't know you, and won't know who you are. Most will be - I think - relatively polite but irritated.Expect it. If you do call me, I know you are just doing your job and that you boss may be listening in and you have to pretend you can't hear me say no thank you...and I promise you I won't slam the phone down, just put it down gently. kelseymarie8 Posted at 12:24 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 my advice. just quit.. Style Out Posted at 12:21 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Watch out for people like me who don't do prank calls but instead harrass telemarketers for shits and giggles. Brunette lady Posted at 12:21 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 They call my house everyday!! they drive me nuts! And we always get this phone call I answer the phone..hello and the loud blare of a ships horn starts playing along with the message"This is your captin speaking you have won a trip blah blah" I usually just use the simple step of Pressing TALK, END when they call.. All I can say for you is be polite Dannay Posted at 12:20 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 hahaha sicosys Posted at 12:20 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Make sure you call around 6 or 7, thats when most people eat dinner.... around 9 is good for interrupting sex, and at 1 Am people love to get phone calls while they are dreaming about the sex and the dinner taraxgoesxboom Posted at 12:20 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Get ready to be hated and emotionally abused on a daily basis. qi Posted at 12:19 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 I guarantee you'll quit by the two month mark. dreamweaver Posted at 12:19 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 If you want to last more than a week, try your best not to be rude.
