So I am sick to death of telesales, I have better things to do in my life than listen to some one try and talk me in to buying something or upgrading. If I wanted your product I would go out of my way to buy it. so stop calling me.
Now I have got the little rant out of the way I wanted to tell you all about the telesales call I have just had, I think this will make you chuckle as my wife said it was pretty funny
My mobile phone rang at about 6-pm and there was this guy who was trying to sell me double glazing windows, I miss heard what he said to start off with as I was eating my dinner. I am sick to death of people phoning me so I have added the 180 app to my Samsung that lets me block number I don't know. the only problem is you have to answer the phone first to know if you want to block them.
The guy on the phone was all up beat and talked fast and in all fairness, I was not really listening He asked me how many windows I had in the house how many doors and so on. he was that fast that I really did not know what he was talking about and he carried on with telling me how much I could save on my heating bill as these windows were triple glazed and have some kind of liquid on the inside to stop cold from coming in. he went on to book me in for a date and a time and some one would come and measure the windows before to make sure that they would fit. this call hit the 30-minute mark when he said to me that I had to pay a deposit of £900 now on a credit card or debit card so I asked him what he meant. so he said to me that to secure the price and the date I had to pay.
Now the kicker for him.
I said to him " I thought the council paid for all this?"
He said to me "you're a council tenant?"
Yes, I said for 11 years. The guy got a little cross on the phone. he kept saying to me I've been on phone with you for 35 minutes and you never said to me that you were with the council.
Well, I said if I did your job I would ask, I've been waiting for the council to phone me back for 3 weeks now to sort my windows out and I thought that's what you were doing.
the guy hung up and I bet he will never phone me again to try and sell me windows.
Happy steeming guys.
