phone sales

So does anyone else think that some off these telle sales people are extremely rude.

I have had them drop the call in my ear more than once, just a few hours ago some women tried to sell me a laptop with mtn, I told her im not interested then when she persisted i told her in any case i dont like mtn...click

I think from now on before I listen to any of these im going to ask for a name and a company name and a number so if they are rude i can report them, and if you wont give me those details then im not even going to listen

That's your problem right there. When I hear it's a sales call I tell them I'm not interested and put the phone down. That's the only thing that works. If I wanted to buy something I would contact them, I'm not interested in hearing unsolicited sales pitches.

I've never actually had to deal with a rude telle sales person.
I tell them I'm not interested. We arrive at a mutual understanding. Phone call ends.

Folks, register here and they shouldn't bother you again https://www.nationaloptout.co.za/

My missus has been plagued recently by these miscreants and despite telling them off they insist on pushing ahead with their promo. It's like they're incentivised to get a certain time in before you hang up.

Regardless, if I have time, I love to bate and toy with them.

It's true, I've actually only received calls from places where I'm already a customer since I've joined that list, also stopped getting junk mail from DirectAxis.

I had a rude telemarketer on the phone the other day. When I told him I wasn't interested and not to call my number again, he said: "No! I will! I will call again!"

I said: "No, you wont!", and then put the phone down.

Sometimes I like having an argument with them though. The oppressed kick downwards and all. It's quite amusing because sometimes I could swear it's the same guy on the other end putting on different accents. One guy held his nose while talking in order to sound like an American! I laughed for hours!

I just put the phone on the table and carry on with whatever im doing, they give their sales pitch into thin air, realise nobodies listening and hang up. One time I randomly broke out into song, I sang Will Smith - MIB. I felt embarassed after though.

You inspired me. I just thought of a brilliant idea (that turns out has all ready been thought of -- typical). This is what I'm going to do the next time one of them phones:
