Next Time You're Called By A Double Glazing Company...



Thirteen million people have watched this YouTube video which shows just how to deal with cold callers. Hilarious.

Hmmm, good to see this one resurfacing from time to time. I simply don't get nuisance sales calls, because I have subscribed for years to the wonderful opt-out provided by the Telephone Preference Service:
www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps

The analogous Mailing and Fax services are equally effective, and equally free. All are highly recommended.

I do, however, keep the "telemarketing counterscript" ready on my desktop, to deploy if and when a sales-droid does call - and tie the bastard in knots! It's available online or as a pdf at:

Annoyingly, I still get them despite the opt-outs, but nowadays I just speak to them in Welsh. Since they're all based in INdia, it confuses them horribly. A good one was a man who tried to speak to me in Punjabi, thinking that was what I was talking in...although even he was dwarfed by the girl who harangued me in perfect Polish up in Lancaster when I refused to speak English!

I have to say though, this guy was a lot more imaginative...

You guys won't be laughing when you're made redundant and the only work you can find is... telemarketing.
