Tips for Handling Telemarketers

I received this advice from a friend via e-mail and wanted to share it as it really is a terrific idea on how get rid of those pesky telemarketers!

These Three Little Words That Work!!!

(1)The three little words are: 'Hold On, Please...'

Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt.

Then when you eventually hear the phone company's 'beep-beep-beep' tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task.

These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting..

(2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end?

This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records the time of day when a person answers the phone. 

Try this out and let me know if it works well for you?! ;-)
