You use your 3way calling service (mines free) and then you call one of the following: the time and temperature line, dialaprayer, dialahoroscope, phone rejection hotline laugh then you remain silent .. some listen for a few, some laugh, and some just hang up.

tell them i am not interested and to take me off whatever list they have me on..

i used to be a telemarketer and we used to just go down the phonebook and call numbers.. if somebody asked us to take them off the list.. then we had to write their name down so that we made sure to never call back.

i dont know, this computer voice calls my house everyday its a 1-800 seller and i cant figure out how to get the COMPUTER to stop callin and trying to sell me somethin!!

and it's somebody trying to sell you something. What do you do?


Ask them what their best and most expensive package is and have them explain it in great detail. Then casually mention I'm not authorized to make changes on the account.

I cut off my land line so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

If I still had that land line, I'd be borrowing that approach. That's funny...terrible...funny...terrible! LOL

If they say they're John Doe from XYZ Company,or where else they may work ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located, how long it has been in business, how many people work there, how they got into this line of work if they are married, how many kids they have, etc. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.


this one has worked well for me

There is a process. They must rebuttal three times in order to let the caller go. I allow them to do their job. I say no three times allowing them to do their job. Its not a cool job but at least their working



Yes this job sucks for them I know I used to hate to do that work.
