The next time a telemarketer makes you feel like the person above maybe you should consider a fun tactic instead. Here (below) are just a few suggestions that might come in handy. Just remember they could help with developing any hidden acting talents and even make these calls enjoyable to you… not the telemarketer.
(1) HARD OF HEARING- Continue to ask the telemarketer to repeat what they are saying just as they start talking because “you’re hard of hearing.”
(2) EXCITED- Be more excited about the offer then the telemarketer can handle. For how many Awesomes can they deal with.
(3) DIFFERENT LANGUAGE- Just as they finish their pitch it’s time to try speaking in your best foreign language maybe one from a different planet.
(4) INTERESTED IN THEM- Ask those probing questions of your telemarketer that everyone else was afraid to ask because remember they called you. If you need any help listen to Howard Stern.
(5) TELEMARKET THEM- It’s time for you to see if you have their skills as you create your own telemarketing campaign on the spot who knows you might make a buck off them or at least have them hang up on you.
(6) LAUGHING- Laughing is always good medicine but not to the telemarketer.
(7) CRYING- If all else fails then a few fake tears might help as you tell a story that will cause your telemarketer to cry to another call.
