how do i irritate a telemarketer??(is there such a word?lol)?

Question

you know those salesperson who will irritate you with their products....how do i give back their own medicine? =)

Answer 1

Act interested in the product. Ask lots of questions. Then ask them to hold for a minute, but never return to the phone.

Answer 2

(1)The three little words are: "Hold On, Please..."

Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up
immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler
room sales would grind to a halt.

Then when you eventually hear the phone company's "beep-beep-beep" tone, you know
it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task.

These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.

(2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end?

This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records
the time of day when a person answers the phone.

This technique is used to determine the best time of day for a "real" sales
person to call back and get someone at home.

What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to
immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly as
possible This confuses the machine that dialed the call and it kicks your number out of
their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer !!!

(3) Junk Mail Help:
When you get "ads" enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these "ads"
with your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away.

When you get those "pre-approved" letters in the mail for everything from credit
cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the ret urn envelope.

Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them more
than the regular 39 cents postage "IF" and when they receive them back.

It costs them nothing if you throw them away! The postage was around 50 cents
before the last increase and it is according to the weight. In that case, why not get
rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage-paid
return envelopes.

.
Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza
coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their
blank application back!
If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you
send them.

You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them
guessing! It still costs them 39 cents.

The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own junk
back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM the m. Let's let them know what it's
like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all they're paying for it...Twice!

Answer 3

If you want to stop telemarketing calls, register your number with the FTC's Do Not Call Registry; your state may have one as well. It works really well, and if they do call you, you can then report them for violating federal law. Of course, it may well deprive you of the fun of messing with them.

If you want to do a positive good, and reduce severely the amount of people they can call and annoy that day, your goal should be to keep them on the phone as long as possible. Most telemarketing companies will have strict policies that prevent employees from hanging up with a few exceptions (the answerer uses profanity or says no a certain number of time).

Use this to your advantage. Ask them to hold on, even better if you express some interest. If you return to the phone once in a while and ask them to hold on just a few minutes more, you can get them to hold on even longer. If you're feeling even more generous with your time, ask them question after question, getting into ridiculous or irrelevant detail - they will almost certainly not be able to hang up on you then.

Or, express interest, and then launch into small talk. Again, their company policy will probably require them to engage you in it, even if they will try to change the subject back to the sales pitch. Talk to them about your dog, about the most mundane subjects you can imagine. Make sure you embarrass, confuse, or bore them. Keep in mind that older and lonely people are their best bet - so a sale will very probably involve them having to make small talk. You are just taking it to an extraordinary degree without a sale at the end. I've included a clever flow chart of small talk you can make to drag on the process.

Answer 4

Answer the phone imitating a ghetto person, I usually answer with a ghetto accent, I've said this a few times, " hello? why ain't yo @ss back wit dem diapers n formula, you know dis baby need dat stuff, an when is you gon pay yo child supote ( you can't say support, it has to be supote * just like it sounds * ) continue to talk ghetto, an say well when you get off probation, yo @ss need ta get ova here n see yo baby! he look just like yo ugly butt, so you kain't<-- ( say it how it sounds ) deny him no mo! "..

Or you could act like Special Ed from Crank Yankers, and answer the phone saying, " Yay I got mail!!, Yay!!, I wanna go to Hawaii! Yay!! "..

Or try this approach, act really excited/crazy and answer saying in a really excited yet psychotic tone, " OMG!! I've been waiting for you to call, I miss you, how come you don't call me that often anymore, Did I do something wrong?.. OMG! is it because I told you that I love you & want to marry you even though we've only been talking for like 3 days??!!.. "

You will either get a laughing reaction, or they will hang up on you.. they usually hang up on me..

Answer 5

If my husband gets that way (which is rare) I let him know gently that everything he's been saying that day (or recently) is negative. It's usually a sign that something specific is bugging him and he hasn't identified or dealt with it. Sometimes people just need to hear it, gently.

Answer 6

Tell them you have this great product hat you would like them to try risk free for 30 days, you just need their name, address and credit card number.

make up a product, talk really fast like they do, and you'll find that some go as afr as to give you their name and sometimes their address.

Hilarious fun!!

Answer 7

Ok, next time one calls do this.
Say Thanks for calling, but I really need to go (insert something you need to do).
Then say can I get your name and home number so I can call you while you are in the middle of (eating dinner, watching tv, etc.).
Then say why not, you called me, so why cant i have your number. And say ok then I guess I can't talk to you then. Have a great day.
Hang up.
This works everytime to silence them and they will feel so dumb.

Answer 8

I have several time tested options:
"Just hold on a moment" and then go and have dinner or whatever you were doing when they called.

Destroy their pitch -
"I own my home - I do not have a mortgage."
"I work for a telephone company - I do not pay for calls."
"I wish you had called last week I just had x done to my house"
"I rent so you should ring my landlord"

Answer 9

Answer their first quetion, then ask any of these
1. How good are you in bed, ha?
2. Tell me, how big is your dick??
3. Did you ever get a ********?
4. Do you like it doggy style?
or
say hold on then make sexy noises in the background, like, ''I am coming!!!!!!''
