[mpd]

Amen. Nobody ever drowned in sweat. K++

When in doubt you could hire yourself, KWIM, vern?

 

[dreaded]

congrats dude

 

[willostat]

yes it is most likely going to suck have plenty of weed in your glove box for lunch and the ride home. you might get lucky though. those can be hit or miss. Ive had one of the worst and one of the best jobs on the phones when I was younger. good luck. Im unemployed right now and this collection agency keeps popping up on job hunts I just cant stomach the thought of applying just yet. The thought of negotiating payment plans for unpayed medical bills just doesnt rock my world...

Thats the thing I fuckin hate telemarketers too. I'm not sure if its incoming or cold calling, I really hope it's incoming calls. I fuck with telemarketers all the time so my karmas gotta be pretty bad in this department.

Yea I always fuck with tele's its fun to make up your own language on the spot and see how long they roll with it for.

First of all, congrats on the job!
always nice to be able to find work when you've been unable to get it for a while

make sure you have herb handy once you learn the routine.
I tried telemarketing for a couple weeks. now i can't get unemployment because I quit. Worst job i've ever had. I just can't take sitting for how many hours listening to people hate me and getting a 10 minute break once a shift. On the plus side, most of the people who worked there were pretty cool and many toked, and not just outside of work.

i hate 'em too, but i did it for quite a while when i was in HS, and was making more money than alot of my friends parents made, and only working like 3 hrs a day after school, and doing homework at the same time.

base pay was like $11/hr, but i usually made about 10 times that w/ commission....i was real sneaky w/ words, and sold shit by pushing 30 day free trials that almost everyone forgot to cancel and were charged after 30 days.

nowdays if it's a telemarketer calling i just pick up the phone and hang up instantly w/out even giving them a chance to say a word to me.

good luck and congrats w/ the job tho

It's a pretty small office for this local patio furniture store, like 6 girls work there and they're all pretty cute. I'm sure someone there tokes.

niiice

good ratio there for ya
sounds like some after work parties are in order to get to know your coworkers

Congrats on the job. Sucks when one is not available.

Telemarketing firms grade each caller. Immediate hangups score low, and the score increases with the amount of words spoken. If you manage to get scored as a high number, it means they were at least able to engage you in a conversation...which means a potential sell. These score lists are sold, and valued at their score ratings.
A list of immediate hangups don't sell very well, but lists of those with more than ten words get sold early and often...and the calls come that way as well.
Don't like telemarketers? Don't phuck with them at all...say nothing.

People still have landlines?

You should try pitching in a funky accent....that always worked for me.


I did telemarketing for 13 months.....over 75 000 calls........and all of them in a thick Hindi accent.


Think Apu, or Peter Sellers in The Party.....

 

[FirstTracks]

^where I worked, people who did weird voices consistently sold more.......I suck at accents. Made me wish I was better at them so I could throw in the region appropriate accent for the people I was calling.Had an idea that it would buy me a minute or two.

 

[dubwise]

congrats on the job man. that's funny as hell....it never occured to me that telemarketers would use fake voices and be screwing with me! Awesome!

man it is funny you mention this. i used to work for a telemarketing firm and we had one dude who did the same thing but in a thick Scottish accent. always cracked me up.

in all seriousness though... grats on the job. i've been out of work going on 7 months now and i know how miserable it is. however, from my experience i would keep looking for a better gig while you work there. telemarketing isn't a very healthy profession unless you have an extremely high tollerance for bullshit and rejection.

but fuck it, whatever pays the bills.

telefuckinmarketing sucks


more fun had it been a blowjob


better luck next time.......


really though ocean99, congrats on the job.

 

[chubbynugs]

Just roll with the base pay as long as you can man and just sit there and take people off of the call list. That will be the most profound thing you can do in this situation.
