Pretty good! Myself, I just say "hold on, please", and go about my business - once the phone starts beeping you know its clear! Much more effective than just hanging up, and rare do I get a solicitor call now.

Pretty good! Myself, I just say "hold on, please", and go about my business - once the phone starts beeping you know its clear! Much more effective than just hanging up, and rare do I get a solicitor call now. That's not entertaining. I love having fun with telemarketers. Yell out random incoherent sentences, string them along with whatever they want and see how long you can keep them on the phone. One guy called me once and said "Mr Melo, by coming to our seminar, you'll have a chance of winning a trip for two to Miami" Well I just started screaming "We won! We Won! We're going to Florida honey!!" The guy was freaking out. Let the guy say his entire pitch then whisper "Shhhhhh! My captors don't know I'm on the phone. They will surely beat me now. Thanks, all because you want to sell me some crap!" The Toronto Star called and said "We are doing deleveries in your area and we were wondering if you would be interested" I paused for a few moments and said "Well, I'm pretty busy lately but ..." Pause "Ok, how many papers do you want me to deliver?" After he explained he was asking me to buy a subscription and not deliver them I then argued with him for a good 10 minutes saying "Toronto Star? You guys have the Sunshine Girl, right?" The idiot just wouldn't hang up. Yep this is how I entertain myself. |
