Post by: SSG Snuggle Bunny on July 08, 2010, 04:11:45 PM
RECEPTIONIST: Thank for calling Big Nose Inc. this is Melanie speaking how may I direct your call?

MSB: I would like to speak to Mrs. X

REC: May I ask who's calling?

MSB: She contacted me.

REC: Um-m-m...OK

*patches through*

MRS X: This is Mrs X.

MSB: Yes, I'm returning you're contact.

MRS X: I'm sorry?

MSB: You emailed me.

MRS X: Oh. Well, we contact lots of people and...

MSB: I would like to know how you got my email addres.

MRS X: Well, we don't normally share that.

MSB: You have odd standards for privacy.

MRS X: If you like I can have you taken off the mailing list.

MSB: Please do.

*pause*

MRS X: Sir, can I have your name?

MSB: You already have it.

MRS X: But I don't know who you are.

MSB: Then why are you emailing me?

MRS X: Well, we have employment opportunities.

MSB: Did I ask you for a job?

MRS X: No.

MSB: Are you hiring privacy and etiquette instructors?

MRS X: No.

MSB: Then I suppose I should just give you my name--even though you obviously already have it--and be done with it.

MRS X: Thank-you sir.



I think she wanted to cry after that.

Good.

My friendly chat 2 days ago

Bank:  Hi, May I speak to xxxx
Me:  Speaking
Bank:  We're offering a new low rate for our customers to fight against identity threat and it only costs blah blah blah
Me:  No thanks, why do you keep calling?
Bank: Excuse me?
Me:  I've received these phonecalls for the past 3 weeks nearly every day, how many times do I need to tell you that I'm not interested?
Bank:  Oh, I see
Me:  Do you realize I am on the State NO CALL list, why do you keep calling?
Bank:  Uhhhh
Me:  Do not call me again or I will report you.

I WISH I could stay on the phone long enough to scramble their telemarketing brains with wit, but I invariably hang up as soon as I find out they're no friend of mine.  Somehow though, clicking off the cordless lacks the satisfaction of slamming the phone down in their ear.

Try selling them a copy of your patented, award winning sales techniques guaranteed to double their sales commissions for 3 low, low payments of only 49.95.

Have you got your credit card ready?
