I just got a telemarketer to hang up on me :thumbup:

[cyberdan (SoCA)]

I just got a call from a telemarketer to apologise for calling and hang up on me.

That is my goal every time I get a sales pitch call (even though it is against the law to call)

After his opening line I immediately asked him what part of India he is calling from. and in his best English (probably repeated many times) He said "on no I am in Modesto CA" During his speal I had him repeat what he said many times. But he got tired of repeating and apologised and said "thank you for your vicious time" I said VICIOUS TIME? he said "no vicious! P-R-E-C-I-O-U-S! vicious" I again asked him if he knew what vicious meant and he hung up on me

That is two cold callers in a row.

.... so I ask them what product they are interested in so I can transfer them to the correct department. They then say they aren't interested in a product, they just want to speak to the owner or manager. I then say, "You told me it's not a sales call, and your not interested in a product, and you have no do-it-yourself question, so that means you are a liar and we don't do business with liars."

Other times, I'll just tell them I'll put them on hold until I can locate the owner / manager. Then leave them on hold. That hurts their productivity.
