(1)The three little words are: ‘Hold On, Please…’
Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt.
Then when you eventually hear the phone company’s ‘beep-beep-beep’ tone, you know it’s time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task.
These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.
(2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end?
This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records the time of day when a person answers the phone.
This technique is used to determine the best time of day for a ‘real’ sales person to call back and get someone at home.
What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly as possible This confuses the machine that dialed the call and it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer !!!
What an amazing post. I LOVE YOU for that ! :D
It’s your gilr’s birthday and you ask her if she’s expecting you to buy her some flowers (or anything similar)..
she’ll answer: “oh no, just a waste, I don’t need flowers. blablablah”. of course she will..
because she probably really hadn’t ever expect to get flowers!! but NOW (because you asked!!) she’ll slowly recognize that she had the chance to get some and she didn’t make use of it. damn. Now it doesn’t matter what you’ll present her with. If there won’t be any flowers within, she-will-be-disappointed.
So. you should NEVER ASK quesions like this. or you have to buy flowers though.
es gibt dinge, die wirst du niemals verstehen können und ich werde mir nicht die mühe machen und sie dir erklären. geh und nimm dir mit was du brauchst aber verschone mich mit dieser heimlichen arroganz. es macht mich krank.
nicht reden, nicht reden, nicht reden, nicht mehr da sein wenn. impulsiv und unbekümmert.
finde mich und rede nicht. frag nicht nach. hör auf mich damit festzuhalten.
und so kommts.. führt mich menschenkenntnis immer richtung menschenhass. da ist er wieder.
gerade das find ich so cool an uns.. dass wir auch telefonieren können ohne zu reden.
When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.
