Calls

Ways to stop unwanted calls
.
..
After the telemarketer finishes speaking, ask him/her to marry you
.
Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment, and ask him/her to give you their home phone number so you can call them back
.
Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times
.
Tell them it is dinner time, and ask if they would please hold
Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure
Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation
.
Tell them that all business goes through your agent, and hand the phone to your five year old child
.
Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up
Louder! Louder!! Louder!!!
.
Tell them to speak very slowly because you want to write every word down
.
If they start out with, "How are you today?"
Say "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have the following problems"
.
Cry out in surprise, "Sonia, is that you? I've been hoping you'd call! How is the family?"
When they insist they are not Sonia, tell them to stop joking.
This works especially well if the telemarketer is really male
.
Tell the agent to call on your office number
And then give him them a call center's number
.
..
Happy Tackling !!
