Cold Calling -- ARRRRGGHH!

[RandomJord]

SO just a bit of a rant.

Why are some people such cnuts? im doing a bit of a ring round to drum up new business for my company and feck me why is everyone so arsey??

I'm a polite person, i dont hardsell or pressure people, i just chat and if theyre interested or if theyre not im not fussed. but the amount of people who will make up pure sh!t just to get you off the phone is mad.

oh and top of the sh!tlist is..


ROBERT FROM FOXTONS CHISWICK OFFICE

Rude, swore, insulted me and hung up. I didnt think it was possible to hate foxtons more but i do now! genuinely cant wait to be passing by that office!

Rant over ish

i understand your trying to drum up buisness ect. but the reason i hate cold callers is because, if i wanted to buy something then i go out and look for it and buy it, i dont want people ringing me up assuming i want to buy into there product..

they dont want to speak to you... and why should they. As said above if I wanted something I would call you.

[RandomJord]

I beg to differ, i actually made 9 appointments today off 25 calls. with the industry and area I work in its all about getting names off calls then meeting them. I don't know what you work in but This and word of mouth is how I roll.

It's a newish service and needs exposure, the people I've made appointments with half of them didn't know it existed!

It's
People like you that are the arseholes I guess

Oh and decision makers aren't the rude ones, it's the trumps on the frontline!

equally you also talked to 14 people who didnt need your services, i understand you need to get buisness but if your pestering over 50 % of the people your ringing then you have to expect to get some angry people.

That's the point, no one needs to be rude, I say what we offer and if they're interested, if not, it's a thanks for your time an no need to hassle them.

If you're a decision maker, you get calls, I get calls, an I'm always polite because they're doing a job an they may have something of interest to me.

If your a little turd who knows nothing and are still rude, you're a jerk

cold calling is the equivalent of some cnut banging on your front door whilst you are banging your gf. They may have something you need but they are going the wrong way about it.

Disagree dude, my industry, get the name, then go in.

Don't know what you do, but this is how it works for me and it does
Me well!
