Default Re: When a stranger calls...

telemarketing is horrendous here. i've worked for
a lot of companies and its mandatory that you lie.
in fact, some of my bosses, every time i shook
hands with them, i'd count my fingers afterwards.

true, i think training would help some. but more
important, i think coming up with products and
services that were honest and really useful would
be better. so much crap is being sold today.

but a side effect of that is that it makes it harder for an honest salesman to stand out from
the crowd...but when he does, he's made a friend
for life. i've found recently, now that i've become more focused on what i want to do and concentrating on customer service that the marketing pretty much takes care of itself. referrals, etc. because my customers know that i
have their best interest at heart. but 99% of the
telemarketers its the money or simply a job they
go to to get a paycheck..."how long can i keep this job before i get fired?"...just my pennies
worth...
