Latest Call Centre Script -

[chris.mapey]

Just had a call from a guy in a call centre in India, (the number came up as international, as well), trying to sell me a new mobile.

Fair enough, if annoying.

The latest twist is that he's trying to convince me (in pidgin english) that he's calling me from Coventry!!!

Yeah right!

OK, rant over, as you were!

I like playing Cold Caller Rodeo with this peeps, my house mate and I take it in turns to answer the land line and see how long we can keep them on the line for!

Yeah I do that too. "Hello, is Mr Whatever there, please?" "Sure, I'll just get him for you" Put phone down on side and carry on life as normal. Evens it up a bit thinking how long they probably held on for

fair play but does that not leave you open to them ringing you up in the middle of the night to annoy you?
does anybody ever buy something from these fools?if i want something i reasearch it then make a descision on what to buy, somebody ringing me up is never going to be able to sell me something.
has anybody had a good deal from a cold call? i would like to think not but i would like to be corrected

My mobile is work, so I always answer it with

"Hello, William Presland"

Most call centres will then say "hello, May I speak to...?

Hmmm...

We have them phoning up trying to sell us mobile phones/kitchen.
We try to sell them one of our cars and when they eventually reply "But i have a car," we say "We have a mobile phone/kitchen
