We’ve all had them and they all arrive at the seeminly worst time of the day. Telemarketers giving us a “Courtesy” call to invite us to an exclusive group or offer of that days choosing. Well, I suggest the following.,
Remember that these folks are just like you and I. Working stiffs just trying to make a buck. I suggest this approach. Take a breath, let them finish the long introductory sentence and then simply say No Thank you and I wish you better luck on the next call. OR I appreciate your call and would really like it if you please remove me from your call list or please transfer me to a supervior that will do as I request. Good luck from here. Most Telemarketers will drop the rhetoric and do as you suggest. If not suggest that this is not a good time and ask for a contact number to which you will call back. Not too many such numbers exist.
Please remember to be kind, professional and mindfull of the person at the other end of the line.
