There is a reason telemarketers have a bad name, even the legitimate ones. They can be annoying and sooo persistent. I can't believe that they believe that if I annoy the person enough he or she will donate, buy my product, etc.
I get a telephone call from 973-821-4911 just about everyday, sometimes twice a day. When I am working on my laptop, the call does not go through because I use a telemarking block. However, it does show that the call is coming from South Orange, and of course no message can be left because the person does not identify him/herself. When that happens the caller is disconnected (I think)
As always I check telephone numbers before I refuse to pick up the telephone. When the calls started coming in without an ID I checked it online and found that others had been receiving these calls. They seem to be from a teleservice company, Meyers Associates or something like that. Every once in a while I check the number online again. This time I saw that some folks are getting calls from 201-373-8371. I am sure that it was not funny to the woman who answered their call, but I did laugh out loud.
"201-373-8371 calls all day but no ones there. Finally today they were on the line and when I told them to stop calling. They asked me what size my breast were."
Since I sell a product I should probably be making a few cold calls myself, but there is no way I can do that. First it is not my nature, and second I would not want to lumped in this group.
