Sales calls

[ailbhe]

I just got a call from a company offering me a free something or other. It was the most satisfying telesales call I've ever taken. I asked them for the full name of the company and the phone number of their head office, and they got hopelessly confused. I just wish I could remember the name of the no-call list I'm on. The person who originally made the call obivously went away to ge ther supervisor, who attempted to start the spiel again, and when I repeated my request for the full company name and the phone number of their head office, they hung up midsentence. Beeeeep. I love it when I'm polite and they're rude. I feel so righteous.

Good for you! I must remember this strategy.

Mind you, I can't remember taking a single telesales call since moving house (or for that matter before that, but our number then was unlisted and very much off the beaten track). Come to think of it, I'm not even sure we're in the phone book. We so rarely use our land line - don't even have an answering machine. Such is the depth of our reliance on mobiles!
