Teresa, your thoughts reminded me of an exchange which one of my agents shared with me. Ring, ring. Hello, Charles speaking. This is so and so from such and such ... and we have a service which will put you on the first page of a Google search for only x dollars a month! Mmmm. How much does it cost to be on the fifth page of Google? Why would you want to be on the fifth page? Because I'm so busy I don't have time to get around to all the leads that I have coming in now. Oh, well we don't offer that service. Oh well, thanks for calling. Bye. :) Does anyone ever get the math question wrong? Can you imagine having to make a living selling such a useless service?

Hello, Charles speaking.

Mmmm. How much does it cost to be on the fifth page of Google?

Why would you want to be on the fifth page?

Because I’m so busy I don’t have time to get around to all the leads that I have coming in now.

Oh, well we don’t offer that service.

Oh well, thanks for calling. Bye. :)

Does anyone ever get the math question wrong?

One thing I like to do is when they ask if I would like more buyer leads I say "please no more, absolutely not!" They can never overcome that objection. :) What I really get a kick out of is the email asking me if I would like to be number one in the search engines. If they did their homework they would see that I already am. ah yes those stilted scripted calls.

I was taught improperly at a young age to be ugly to telemarketers. As a joke, dad would hand the phone over and have us say "my daddy's busy with the crack pipes, can he call you when his mouf isn't numb?" or when older, "father says I am to be beaten if I cannot properly screen calls" and such. <b>Now, before the pitch I just immediately say "please remove this phone number from your list, never call back and have a nice day"... click.</b> Ugh- phone spam!

Ask the sale agent that question and listen to the tapdance you get!
