telemarketers
« on: March 07, 2010, 06:35:02 pm »
so.. since i have been on fusion cash and have been doing some offers on this site i have been getting calls from telemarketers stating that i gave them info and that i was interested in what they were trying to sell me etc. i had one person call me from all state trying to sell me car insurance but wtf i dont have a car. my man answered the phone and stated that i dont have a car and she did not want to give up so she said that they offer other things etc. he's like no thanks and hung up. i even had someone call me about health insurance and i didnt even recognize the company's name and they wanted to come out to the house. my man made an appointment with them and i dont know why even though i knew he needed it. i asked him why he didnt that when he knows i wanted him to go through blue cross. ok, so they were gonna come by and i didnt want them at the house so i cancelled the appointment. the guy was talking like he was selling life insurance so i got the impression that he was selling life insurance but it was health insurance. i wish i could block these numbers, but i cant.

I guess you haven't been here very long, because this subject comes up over and over and my answer is always the same. Don't complain when someone hands you a Golden Goose and DON'T KILL IT. Anyone doing this kind of work is DESPERATE for money and you give it away free. Set up a website or blog telling how you can make extra money online and give them the web address. Even if you use a free web hosting account (why do that when you can get a good one for a buck a month) get a domain name (89 cents a year for GoDaddy .info names) so you can tell it to them over the phone. You can't get referrals by telephone with a referral link, they leave the last part that pays you off. Then find a way to drift the conversation over to how they can get a raise without even asking the boss. I have been doing this for years and it works. I even hooked up the guy who sold us new cookware the other night.
