I answered a couple of weeks ago a call from a guy shoveling loans for a major credit card vendor in Taipei. Cold calling is really a tough nut to crack.
Anyway, I told him I was at work, but he still insisted that he would talk to me. Poor guy! It’s a tough job. Most of the time I simply don’t answer my phone. This time I made a mistake.
When he persisted even after my 2nd or 3rd effort to get him off the phone, I simply turned the phone screen side down and continued tapping away on the PC.
A couple of minutes later, I checked he’d hung up. I felt a little bad. But their angle is never hang up on the punter. Never let go. Well…
Still not sure why Citi would be calling a foreigner for loans that we won’t qualify to get!!! Anyone?
