Yes. They are rude or not home, but is it worth it? Do you get sales, too?

Sure telephone cold calling works. If it didn't there wouldn't be a need for a "Do Not Call" list.

Well, then, I guess just buck up and try the good advice from rest of the gang. I wish everyone (who feels like me about being contacted in the sanctuary of my home by a telephone solicitor) would have the good sense to put themselves on the Do Not Call list because that would make your job more pleasant.

Unfortunately the two are not connected. Now if you could get all of the rude folk to register that might be different.

No. I think it would be the STUPID people who need to register. Presumably they are rude because they are mad that you called. And yet....they are not on the Do Not Call list. They aint no rocket scientists.

Last year I read and hear about a study where test after test showed that stupid people (as measured by an aptitude test I think) thought they were smarter than everyone else.

Cold calling can definitely be a tiresome & frustrating line of work. You will find very rude people because not many people want to be solicited if they haven't asked for the product/service. You can be effective if you keeping plugging on through the rejection and dial those numbers.
