    For my sins I run a telemarketing firm, one the contracts means we contact quite a few hairdressing salons and beauty parlours…If I have to talk one more Sherry, Charmaine or Chardonnay today I think I will loose the plot, also these women almost universally have unfeasibly high pitched voices, and tortuous telephone manners, By about half way through the opening pitch of "Hello, this the Lovely hairdressing saloon by Schwartzkopf, I'm Melanie, How may I direct your call" most of it is only audible to dogs…

    And breathe.., Ah well back to the grindstone….

    People talk to you? WI know someone who, when she gets phonecalls from marketing people she says 'hang on a minute, I'll just put you through'She then leaves the phone off the hook then goes about her business. Its amazing how long people will hang on for 🙂

    Of course. Telemarketing, when done well, is a fantastic sales tool, why do you think firms do it? To annoy you? Most of my business is repeat from very satisfied customers

    They've had a 100% success rate so far in that respect 🙂
