It's 3.05pm on a Saturday afternoon in the UK, and I'm sitting at my computer trying to work but mostly staring into space, feeling bored and feeling mischievous. Then - the desk phone rings! It's a cold-caller from Liquid Telecom, and he has great news about my long-distance rates!
Cold caller: Do you make many long-distance calls?
Taxloss: Umm ... some.
CC: So you'd say a few?
T (getting bolder): A few, but they're mainly to outer space. To the Mir space station.
CC: Uh ... so you make international calls?
T: I'm sorry, I'm going to have to end this conversation, I'm being attacked by lobsters.
Click, brrrr.
:rofl:
Any favourite strategies for cold-callers?
