Telesales………Grrrr!!!

Ok. I hate telesales.

They assume you have time to talk to them, and that you want to talk to them, and they are becoming more aggressive.
Maybe it’s the economic climate. Maybe it’s target led sales. Perhaps it’s socitiey in general. I don’t know.
I’ve tried saying, “I don’t think so.”. When they ask, “Is it something you’d be interested in?’.
I’ve tried saying, “No, thank you.”. Still, they don’t go away.
It doesn’t matter how polite you are, they just don’t get the hint.
I know in sales there is the over coming objection rule.
The you need this, you just don’t know it yet rule
But it’s all rubbish. 
I’m not objecting because I want a debate. 
I’m objecting because I don’t want it.
I’ve got to the point, that if I hear any noise in the background, that suggest it’s a call center, 
I just put the phone down before they pick-up.
I have even threatened to charge the calling company for my time; they were so persistent. 
They informed me “You can’t do that.”.
I asked them if they were getting paid, so course they said ‘yes’.
“Then I want to get paid too. This is costing me time.”. I replied.
I am a small one person business, if I am not producing work, then I am not earning money.
Telesales…………..Grrrrrrrr.
