20 years ago, telemarketing was like the internet marketing of today. The parallels are amazing. Just like the commercial that says you can learn a lot from a dummy, you can learn a lot from a good telemarketer.
For example, with a good outsourced telemarketer, you can make more bonafide personal contacts at a lower cost than any other medium.
But forget that, it's fun to take on telemarketers. I love beating them at their own game.
Yeah, not all telemarketers are bad, I just like to fuck with those annoying assholes who won't take no for an answer.
You pick up the phone and they're like "Hey it's Mike, just following up on our coversation last week", and I'm thinking "You mean the one where I said I wasn't interested?". Those are the guys I like to fuck with.
