How to piss off telemarketers. Written by me, a telemarketer

I know you all think you have your own little methods of pissing off telemarketers. Well sorry to break it to ya but a lot of your stuff doesn’t work. But no worries. Since I hate my job with a passion, I’ll tell you how to really get to us.

-Speaker phone: If you have it, you better use it. Its soo hard to hear.

-Tell them “Add me to your do not call list. If I get another call from your company I will sue. Also, I want off all your mailing lists, and I would like a conformation letter in the mail telling me I was removed from your lists.”: This adds soo much extra work for us. It sucks and makes us soo mad.

-Ask them to repeat information over and over.

-Keep asking them questions if they call for someone other then you. Ask things like “What is this in reference to.” “What kind of courtesy?” “Do they do business with you?” “What kind of business do they do with you?” “Why can’t you speak with me?” “Do they know you?” “Is there a number I can have them reach you at?” “Can I get your name so I know who I was speaking with?”

-Tell them you can’t hear them good and ask them to speak louder. Keep on telling them to talk louder until they are practiclly yelling. Then if they quiet down at all while they do their telemarketing thing to you tell them you can’t hear them again and make them repeat what they said but louder.

-Tell them you don’t understand them and ask them to spell out the persons name which they are calling for. Make them do this many times and if they say letters like B C D E V P Z, always say a letter different so they have to repeat themselves.

As I think of others I’ll update the list.

Have fun with this.
