I truly do not understand why there is a need for tele-marketers. It is not as if we don't buy enough things already or spend enough money on things, to go and have people call us and waste our precious time. Yesterday afternoon, my house recieved a phone call and we have caller I.D. so it's easy for us to identify which calls are important and which are not. Anyway, I answered the phone because the call appeared as a private caller and it was a man who is running a survey about latinos and technology...!!!! I have a problem with all this.
First of all, if you are going to work as a telemarketer or someone running surveys on the phone or whatever where you strictly rely on your voice, learn to articulate, take a speech class.
Second, I was on the phone for 30 minutes, answering really stupid questions, why? to whose benefit? 30 minutes!!!! I could have baked a cake, taken a nap, gone for a run (haha), something more useful!!! 30 freaking minutes! on something I was not even interested in.
Last, be polite, we are doing you a favor, I was polite enough not to hang up on this man because it is a decent job, its better than selling gum at every street light, but still, c'mon, be nice. I am sure that just like I don't like your job, you don't like your job, but if you are going to do it, be the best at it.
One more thing, that survey insulted me, the kind of questions were like, how smart are you because you are a latino and what kind of life style can a latino have, it was a waste of time, and why does this interest people??? that's what i would like to know.
