84 Harder being a telemarketer 当电话推销员更难
Trust me, it's harder being a telemarketer than hearing from one. I called a home once, and a little girl picked up. I asked to speak to her parents, but instead was given a tour of her house. “I see a book, a flower, a doggy.” Eventually, her father took the phone, allowing me to recite my pitch. “Hi. I'm calling from ABC Telephone Company. How much do you pay for long distance?” “Hold on, please,” he said. The next thing I heard: “I see a table, a lamp, a refrigerator.”相信我,当一个电话推销员比听别人推销更难。有一次,我打电话给一个家庭。一个小姑娘接电话。我要求和她的父母讲话。结果却让我在她们家里游了一圈:“我看见一本书、一朵花、一只狗。”最后,她爸爸拿起了电话,让我能背诵我的开场白:“你好,这里是ABC电话公司。你在长途电话上花多少钱?”他说:“请等一下。”接下去我听见:“我看见一张桌子、一盏灯、一个冰箱。”
