I got a call from somebody in Texas the other night advertising "if you could place 20-30 people in your MLM business every month". I promptly said to him that I knew what program he was trying to pitch me on, and was not interested in it.
He obviously wasn't listening to me very well, and went on with his sales speil.?It really sounded like he was speaking from one of those "canned" sales scripts.?You probably know them, too, when somebody tries to "strangle" you with them.?I told him I wasn't interested in what his was trying to sell me, and then thanked him for his time then hung up on him.
There is nothing that turns me off more when I get somebody trying to sell me something, and they really don't listen to what I have to say.?Selling to somebody isn't all about getting the sale, it's about giving a solution to a problem somebody has.
Judging from the time that he called me, I think that I might have also been on one of their "live calls".?The second thing that turns me off is when somebody puts me in front of a crowd without telling me.?There are laws in certain states now that make it illegal to record you without your knowledge, and it is the legal right of the caller to tell the person on the other end of the phone that they are being recorded.?If you make calls and record them for future use (i.e. training, etc.) make sure you know which states have these laws.
