Telephone Solicitation

In my job we are asked to make cold calls via the telephone. This is one of the parts of my job that I dislike the most.

It seems like whenever I call either nobody is home or they are rude.

Does anyone else have the same experience?

I think that comes with the territory.

My advice... keep on dialing for dollars.

Telephone Soliciting to a home is difficult, try not to take it personally. Be rude back to them, AFTER YOU HANG UP and never out loud! Make a game of it.

We make a ton of calls everyday. Here's what I do. I know I'm going to make one-hundred calls whether I want to or not. So I just get through it as quick as I can. If people don't answer that's okay. One less call to make. If people are rude and hang up. That's okay. One less call to make. Before I know it, my calls are done and I've made a few appointments.

But hey, that's just me.

My advice would be to focus on the positive experiences. Keep your mind on what you want and off of what you don't want.

I forgot to say thank you so, "Thank you" for the great input.

being the one who got called i can give a bit of advise is dont be pushy because A lot of Operators who do this are very Pushy if they seem to resist approach softly and dont Push just my 2 cents cause some times i get once that really push and i just hang up they approach to strong and to pushy without giving breathing room and another 2 cents is exsplain everything thurly because most of the time those who call talk so fast and then so you wana do it? and im standing there thinking what do i wana do

I received a Telemarketing call yesterday and noticed that the caller wouldn't take "No" for an answer. This is what I consider to be "pushy". Geesh... when will telemarketers get the message.

I'm curious Gilbert, do you make any sales as a direct result of this?
