Getting rid of telesales calls
 
I got a call today from some guy who sounded thick as 2 short planks trying to sell me a new telephone system.

I informed him over the telephone that we didn't use telephones.

He said thanks, sorry to bother you and good bye.

Just as i put the phone down i heard the penny drop and him mumble, "Eh, what!"

We've got our phone set on 2 rings and then the ansa phone kicks in. If it's a legit' call then we pick up as soon as we recognise the voice. If not we leave it, or more usually the caller rings off without leaving a message.
Get number withheld block, that cuts 90% of the sales calls out straight away.
We've got just about a 100% success rate on binning sales and other calls.

Damn trying to find that funny video (only sound) where the bloke in US gets a call and tapes it while pretending to be a cop investigating a murder. It was like a radio show they were playing it on. Bum where is it now.

Yes, we do that. Works a treat.

On the rare occasions a cold caller gets thru I tell them that I am interested then ask them to "hold on a minute". I then gently lay the phone down on the table, walk away and get on with whatever I was doing before they interrupted me. Ages later I put the phone back on the hook. One day I must try to find out how long they hang on for............

Bugger! That's the one I was gonna tell you about. I usually put the phone under a cushion on the sofa and call out to the wife "we got another one!" I get a real kick out of it and actually enjoy it and now actually look forward to the cold calls, especially the ones from the Calcutta call centre.

I know... I gotta get out more.
