Ask a telemarketer anything.

When are you allowed to hang up?

>>723217492
What percent of people are stupid enough to buy shit they don't need from a random asshole that calls them right in the middle of dinner?

>>723217611
My managers aren't that strict and don't do auditing regularly, so pretty much whenever.

>>723217712
Surprising amount of people.

how much do you make? is the commission good, or is it mostly hourly?

>>723217492
Is length of call a performance metric? Could I simply set the phone down to help you pad your stats? Could we talk about something unrelated?

>>723217757
I already had little faith in humanity. It's all but gone now.

>>723217871
I'm not even close to being the best in my office, but the commission even for me is a decent incentive to try a bit harder.

>>723217876
No, it's the opposite really. Long calls are looked down upon.

>>723217492
Assume that I won't make a purchase no matter what you say, then: Would you prefer that I immediately hang up, or let you walk through your script and then politely decline?

>>723218150
Customers acting like they're interested when they're really not really pisses me off.

Do you have a minimum on how long you have to wait to terminate a call? If I say "I'll go get my dad/mom/etc" and just set the phone down, how long would you wait?

>>723217492
Do you ever ask what are you wearing?

>>723217876
What other metrics do you have besides sales made? Is there anything I could do to help without spending money?

>>723217492
Do you touch yourself while talking to children?

>>723218603
There is no "minimum" to when we can terminate the call, if someone says that I usually wait thirty seconds or so then I hang-up. Kind of a relief when I don't have to deal with people for even just a little second.

>>723218669
No, but some people ask me that.

>>723218750
Well the thing about our office is the service we offer is (technically) free, the customer then gets calls in the future offering them the paid product.

>>723218822
Whenever a minor gets on our list, I always have to deal with an angry parent calling me a pedophile.

>>723217492
Have you ever made a call from the toilet?

>>723218952
My call center isn't one of the fancy ones with the wireless, one-ear headsets. We use cheap Logitech wired headsets so we have to pause our dialer before going anywhere.

>>723218933
So you're a pro-bono telemarketer? Are you truly this stupid?

>>723217492
Why are you contacting me? Can't you tell I'm having dinner?

>>723217492
Why is your accent always so thick and hard to interpret when I call asking for assistance?

I feel I'd have more success dealing with a wild baboon operating the line.

>>723217492
Would you tell me your real name if I asked? Would your managers not give a shit and play along if you lied about it?

>>723219183
Something like that, except it isn't out of the kindness of our hearts, we forward their information to other telemarketers.

>>723219199
Lol

>>723219310
I'm not a foreigner, but sometimes I will answer the line like an absolute retard.

>>723219513
I've told people my real name before; can't answer the second question because I've never falsified it before.

>>723217492
have you ever wondered what it would feel like to suck a log of shit from andy sixx's asshole?
