The_Bear Turbocharged February 28, 2013 Share February 28, 2013 (edited) Things I have done to telemarketers: 1) i dont speak chinese/ english/ bearish. Depending on who is calling. 2) ask questions after questions. Make them repeat their script. Ask them to call you back because you are busy now. Repeat and rinse on second call. Keep asking the address, make them describe the location. "Orchard Point? Is it the one on the left of centrepoint? If you are coming from the direction of Mohan." Tell them the history of Mohan and Orchard road. 3) make appointment to turn up for talk/ demo. Conveniently forget. Make another appointment when they call back. 3b) pretend you never spoke to them before when they call back 4) keep really quiet 5) the "erm" "yah" treatment 6) keep telling them " heeloo? Hello? I cannot hear you." Keep it up for 3 minutes. 7) put them on hold infinity 8) Make them courier the application forms. Return with missing documents or signature. Give yourself a treat if you can make them do it 4 times for a single application. Edited February 28, 2013 by Bavarian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them are lazy bums who are looking for a easy way out. Most realise the folly of their actions soon but the supply of lazy idiots is infinite.

I also have a friend's brother who suffer from mental problems working as telemarketers.......thus I normally just give them 1 or 2 mins to say what they need to say and then reply them that I'm not interested....
