Just got a phonecall of a barclays person, very nice on the phone, and it was a women she had a nice voice... but she was asking me if id be interested in a new service...

i said no, and the way she asked why i wouldnt be sounded really like upsetting, like id been nasty for saying no... i felt guilty saying that i was interested and i hadnt the time to talk about it...

:( i know its just some stupid call centre wanting to rip people off with "new" services... but ive been left with an awful feeling... i need a slap

Hehe, opportunity missed there my son!

How the conversation should've continued:
LK: "I'm sorry, I can hear the disappointment in your voice. How about I take you out for a drink to make it up to you?"

Just on the off chance that she's drop dead gorgeoous and the call centre is in your town. ;)

I know what you mean....but its people trying to take advantage of our good nature.....like the people who stand on highstreets trying to get you to set up a direct debit to the chosen charity they are working for...and sometimes I stop and talk to them cos the girl is fit!!
 
I say "Sorry, not interested." and hang up before they have a chance to ask anything else. I've never felt particularly guilty. I've always wanted to do one of Seinfeld's telemarketer jokes but never had the heart, heh.

That's what I do if I'm in a tolerant mood ..... and I've never felt in the slightest bit guilty.

I NEVER EVER provide my home phone number to commercial organisations, so if I get a call like this, it's an unsolicited cold-call and as a result of that :-

1) I don't want it whatever it is
2) I object to being pestered at home

So telesales people are very likely indeed to get the rough end of my tongue.

Feel guilty? Like hell I do.
 
999: "Hi, do you happen to have a serial killer in your house you would like us to come and arrest?"

You: "OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW?!!" </sarcasm> :p

This the new way of companies doing phone marketing? A nice voiced woman (who could be 40 stone and have a beard) preying on the lonely mans mind...lol silly thread
 
OMG I just got fired on friday from what I expect is the exact same place. It was a load of ***** working there, I basically got fired cos I told some one that I didnt care when the boss tells me off, the person blabbed, and my boss had to assert his authority, he didnt let me get away without a lecture on his "profession", and how he relied on people being prompt, even though i was on time largely he brought up a couple of times i was late about 4-5 months ago.

No swearing, read the FAQ.

If a friend asks something of me, I have a hard time turning them down.


But FOR GODS SAKE MAN, its a person PAID to get you to sign up!! You simply tell them where to go. It usually involves a finger, and a cliff.

i gotta admit a couple of weeks ago i signed up for greenpeace from a dude on the street ... although to be honest im quite well off right now (my outgoings are pretty low) so the £8 a month or whatever isn't goin to kill me... and it might help out

but i aint buyin nothing over the phone... ive never just hung up on someone though i will forcefully but politely tell them where to stick their product.. and then hang up

Wasn't for Barclays Insurance was it? They're pimping that a lot here at the moment. I work in the Barlcaycard call centre in Stockton.
