wow

what offer did you do to get $5.00 if i may ask ?

thanks

$5 Sign-Up Bonus maybe? Or a credit card one.

Anyway, I used to be one of those dreaded telemarketers. You don't get a raise to keep them on the phone longer, but you do get fired if you do not get enough sales/leads. Normally when a telemarketer is talking for a long time, it's because they train you to keep explaining your service until they buy it.

Also, MOST telemarketers get fired or deducted pay if they hang up before you do. So, feel free to keep talking about absolute non-sense for your laugh of the day. :thumbsup:

I got another one today, a call about free health information for senior citizens. I listened for a while going uh huh, uh huh, then when she had to stop for a breath I said, let me save us both some time. I have Kaiser and have all those things you mentioned included, so since I pay them every month I use them and don't need more. But I can tell from your voice that you must be desperate to earn money or you wouldn't take this job and get people cussing you out for calling or slamming the receiver in your ear, right? She said, yeah I guess that's true, but I really do need the money. Then I told her look, don't make any advance judgements, but you have the Internet at home don't you? She said yes and I told her look at xxxxxx.com and just watch the video at the bottom, it's only a few minutes and what I show you will NOT cost you a penny, it will just start putting money in your pocket from day one. As you get more success, you will be able to share it with others and it will start exploding your income. With your experience talking to people, you would be a natural. Like I said, don't pre-judge this, just spend five minutes and see if it fits, then another 5 minutes a day can turn your life around, just watch. Fair enough?

I don't know if she will actually sign up and I don't really care. What she did do was give me a chance to practice my spontaneous transition skills. Every situation is different and you need to practice thinking on your feet and shooting from the hip.

Now go get some easy referrals.

Only tip I have for this with my experience; Don't give your number, and especially your cellphone.  :BangHead:
