HOW GOOD IS THIS ?
REVENGE ON THE TELEMARKETER
Three Little Words That Work!!
(1) The three little words: "Hold On, Please..."
Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up
immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming
that boiler room sales would grind to a halt.
Then when you eventually hear BT's "beep-beep-beep" tone, you know
it's time to go back and hang up your handset .... you have efficiently completed
your task.
These three little words could help eliminate telephone soliciting.
(2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end?
This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records
the time of day when a person answers the phone.
This technique is then used to determine the best time of day for a "real"
salesperson to call back and get someone at home.
What you can do after answering: If you notice there is no one there, is to
immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly
as possible. This confuses the machine that dialled the call and it kicks
your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name
in their system any longer!!!
3: When you get those "pre-approved" letters in the mail for everything
from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away
the return envelope.
Most of these come with postage-prepaid return envelopes, right?
It costs them more than the regular postage "IF" and when they
are returned. It costs them nothing if you throw them away! In that case,
why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little,
postage-prepaid return envelopes.
Send an advert for your local chimney sweeper to a credit card company...
they might need one!
Send a pizza coupon to a bank ... in case their canteen packs up. You get
the idea.
If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them back their blank
application form ... after all, it is their form!
If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything
you return.
You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them
guessing! It still costs them, and it is their envelope after all ... you
are just returning it!!!!
The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own
junk back in the post, but folks ..... we need to OVERWHELM them, in order
to stop them.
Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail,
and best of all they're paying for it ... Twice!
Let's help keep Royal Mail busy. Since the Royal Mail are saying that e-mail
is cutting into their business profits, let's help them so they will not need
to increase postage costs again.You get the idea!
If enough people follow these tips, it will work ---- maybe you'll get very
little junk mail anymore.
THIS JUST MIGHT BE ONE PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT YOU WILL WANT TO FORWARD
TO YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!!!
