Double glazing salesman etc..

Tom · May 8, 2003

Another day, another git at my door telling me about double glazing...

RINNNGGG

'Hello sir, are you the householder?'

'yes'

*extends hand for shake*

*retracts hand when I don't offer*

'I noticed that you don't have double glazing sir'

'Thats right'

'Well, I repres...'

'How long do your windows last?'

'Oh we offer a full 10 year guarantee, they're ver..'

'My windows are 90 years old, made from seasoned Oak, and still work. How come your 'modern' windows don't last that long?'

'errr'

'Get off my land'

*spreads arms* 'pfft'

What is it with these people? Do they expect me to believe their windows are so good, that they're so busy fitting them, that they have time to knock on my door and tell me? The best tradesmen don't need to advertise!

We have a mail preference service, a telephone preference service, how about a 'cocky wanky salesman interrupting your strawberry icecream session' preference service?

SilverHood · May 8, 2003

Wazzerphuk · May 8, 2003

Summo = scum

Summo · May 8, 2003

Not if the guy can answer them. :|

And Wazz has a point.

Wazzerphuk · May 8, 2003

I have many points!

doh_boy · May 8, 2003

there is somewhere in the large dustbin like void that is the internet an anti-telesales script. It was devised by a guy who had worked as (can't remember the name but basically a guy who knows pyscology and computing..sorta thing) and developed a few of the scripts himself. Apparently it really screws with peoples heads >

Testin da Cable · May 8, 2003

Wazz is very pointy

Like Wazz said. Scum.

.Cask · May 8, 2003

Bah it's too easy to be mean.

I try and be very polite on the phone. I don't hurry them, tell lots of witty jokes, calmly explain that I'm a poor student and can't afford their windows but would love more information on their products and would be more than happy to help out with their market research. Tell the truth I'm just excited to have someone to talk to

After 5 minutes they're the ones trying to get rid of me!

mank! · May 8, 2003

I just ask them who they are and hang up unless it's somebody calling for me. I've been tempted to use those soundboards on ebaumsworld though

.Cask · May 8, 2003

Oi Summo that job sounded pretty good.

The NTL call centre here has some part-time openings for students. Would be answering calls about broadband and the pay isn't too bad at £7.18/hour. I doubt it'd be as relaxed as you had it though, I'd imagine NTL run a pretty tight ship.

Only prob i that it's a bit of a trek, would have to get the bus there every day after uni. Has to be better than the fish & meat counter at sainsburys though. NOT THAT ANYONE CARES ANYWAY.

Summo · May 8, 2003

Worth a go, matey. NTL does sound a bit fast-paced, but as you say, better than working at Sainsbury's.

Wazzerphuk · May 8, 2003

Not if you're on the fish counter.

;o

mank! · May 8, 2003

Deli > Fish and meat

Oh and on the HOT CHIKKIN counter at my local tescos works a hugely obese american woman.

Well I found it ironic anyway.

old.Fweddy · May 8, 2003

I work on the checkouts at Tesco!

And on Telemarketers, try and sell them something:

*ring*
*Hi, I'm Jason, would you like to buy some double glazing?*
*Oh hi Jason, can i interest you in a set of deluxe carpet cleaning equipment?*

xane · May 9, 2003

As soon as I hear the banter after about 5 seconds I just hang up, I don't say anything. applies to double glazing, personal finance, surveys, etc.

Xtro · May 9, 2003

I tend to say "Mong...MONG...Mong...." just like everyday really.

ye olde one.

Knew it was that before i heard it when i saw the length lol.

Lester · May 9, 2003

Mate of mine ALWAYS invites the Jovies in. Always. He's a bit mental tho, talks complete bollox and they never come back, but he was always genuinely interested.

I get at least 3-4 calls a day offering electric supplies, drives me mad. I feel some Gord tactics coming on (Thx TDC - it's changing my life)

throdgrain · May 9, 2003

I used to be a Sky TV salesman. And after that I was a photocopier salesman, which is much worse . However this doesnt mean I have any sympathy for them, as no one had any for me when I did the job.
Having said that, in 1989 when I did the Sky TV it was for about 8 hours a week in the evenings, and I made as much money as for my 40 hour a week day job
