Does wank + telemarketing = phone sex?
Oh, customers_suck, you bastion of wank.

[info]shadowsync posts a potentially wanky list of things to do when a telemarketer calls (how to get them to stop calling you the polite way, but phrased badly).

Of course, it's customers_suck. Are they going to let them live it down?

Not if they can help it!

Be sure to look out for [info]tigerwolf's comment about his newly-purchased airhorn (second page), and [info]susano_otter's comment about how telemarketing is equivalent to selling yourself (second linked thread, last comment).

And, of course, there's a condensed version of the stupid on stupid_free.

Telemarketing: only the strong survive.

ETA: Fixed to include link to original post.

I should expressed myself better, it's more about how they acted like it was my fault. I always tried to sound as apologetic as possible, but I got called a lier and whatnot.

Also, I should've probably mentioned that we only called people who already were our customers.

Ah, gotcha then. Thanks for the clarification.

(Regardless of whether you were cold-calling or they were already customers, though, they still shouldn't have blown up at you. It's not like you wrote the policies, or managed the contact procedures.)
