Tele-marketers

[Big Dog]

When deciding how to handle spammers you should also keep in mind two things.
- they probably did not want to be earning a low wage being a telemarketer when they grew up and are just trying to make ends meet.
- swearing violates your agreement with your telco for Telecom, irrespective of your provider they can go you for being a nuisance or threatening if that coarse language is directed ins threatening manner or the other party takes offence.

I have no idea re precedence but worth keeping in mind.

That's no reason for me being polite to them. If they're willing to accept a job that goes against their core principles then they deserve everything that's dished out to them. If they actually think they have a right to do what they're doing then even more so.

I'd rather they have a job tho...

Too true. And for ever abusive answer they get, they usually get ahold of a potential as well. 99% of HRV customers have said yes to getting a quote after being cold called. If it wasn't so effective, they wouldn't do it.

No matter what the job is?

If they actually believe what they're doing is acceptable then more power to them. But they can't expect me to be polite when my quiet time is rudely interrupted for the sake of marketing.

Personally I'd rather cold calling was completely abandoned. If someone doesn't have enough need to seek out a product themselves they obviously don't need it.

And how many of that 99% actually need the product? A lot of the financial shit that the western world is in is because people are talked in to spending money on things they don't need - rampant consumerism.

Being effective doesn't make it right.

1/4 of our children have asthma, the vast majority of houses built in the last millenium are so poorly insulated and damp that they are a breeding ground for mould, dust mites and allergens. People spend all winter time wiping windows to slow down their window sills rotting, then thousands of dollars replacing then when they are fucked. People spend hundred of dollars more than they need to each winter trying in vain to heat damp air.

Modern houses on the other hand are so well sealed that moisture often has no where to go and doesn't show signs of its presence like in older homes (no condensation on windows) but they have sometimes more moisture in the air than older homes.this means dust mites etc thrive. I see a lot of people every day who love the system. A lot of people install another system in their new houses if they move into a house that doesn't have one.

I've had customers credit the system for lowering their heating bill, curing bronchitis, asthma and mould. So yes, I would say they need the product.

I've seen the ads for the product and have no doubt that it works. However, there is a much simpler and cheaper solution to the moisture problem - open the windows. Even in winter we have the windows open, just with curtains closed. We have no problems with air flow or moisture build up and we don't spend much at all on heating.

Cold calling is just the same as junk mail - a nuisance we can well do without.
