Cold Calling is hard !
We know that there will be No's But rudeness doesnt need to be an issue - some folks cant help it- and I sorta know how they feel when the tele marketers call my house and wake me up LOL
Here is another take on things - maybe will give you a laugh and make your day better LOL
I am a FT Mental Health Worker, assist adults with Chronic Mental Illnesses live on their own in the community
You would not believe HOW they get over junk mail - those things from Car lots that say they won or those "enter to win- just come and check your numbers" things They ALL think they have won- because it came in the mail is written down on paper, addressed to THEM ! - I have to tell them they Did NOT win - that it is JUNK mail that EVERYONE gets- people "Buy" mailing lists
Now when they get Telemarket or sollicitaion calls - WOW !!! It Often keeps them up at night wondering "How they got my number" They are unable to comprehend that people "buy" phone number lists - they say"But they knew my name" There are times they get woken up by these calls and tell me to "tell them to stop calling" or they say" I dont want them to call, why do they call me"
I try and try to explain - but to people who are paranoid, think things and others are against them - is REALLY hard to comprehend that these things happen to EVERYONE
Sooo Maybe you called a person like who I work with LOL
Just laugh it off and go on - dont let it get ya down - we ALL have days where we WANT to yell at others and can most times
control that urge - BUT sometimes some folks just cant !
