Wow Miss Tickle, I dont wanna offend or owt...As I say, its not the callers I have a problem with - they can be okay, its the whole concept! lol.
Wow, a real life ex telesales lady in our midsts! hahah. Was it a good earner for the companies you worked for? Did you and your colleagues sell a lot of stuff or was it one sale a day if your lucky or something? Its a real mystery to me at the minute how effective it is as a concept. Perhaps its very sucessful, but everybody I know justs gets rid of the callers without even listening to what they are selling, its just habbit now, well it is in our house, we half listen to which category it falls under, and politely get rif of them.
lol@ dodgy endowment policy! hahaha.
I like the sound of your new job much better, sounds like I need some intense complementary therapy from you Miss Tickle!
