84 Harder being a telemarketer 當(dāng)電話推銷員更難
Trust me, it's harder being a telemarketer than hearing from one. I called a home once, and a little girl picked up. I asked to speak to her parents, but instead was given a tour of her house. “I see a book, a flower, a doggy.” Eventually, her father took the phone, allowing me to recite my pitch. “Hi. I'm calling from ABC Telephone Company. How much do you pay for long distance?” “Hold on, please,” he said. The next thing I heard: “I see a table, a lamp, a refrigerator.”
相信我,當(dāng)一個(gè)電話推銷員比聽別人推銷更難。有一次,我打電話給一個(gè)家庭。一個(gè)小姑娘接電話。我要求和她的父母講話。結(jié)果卻讓我在她們家里游了一圈:“我看見一本書、一朵花、一只狗。”最后,她爸爸拿起了電話,讓我能背誦我的開場白:“你好,這里是ABC電話公司。你在長途電話上花多少錢?”他說:“請等一下。”接下去我聽見:“我看見一張桌子、一盞燈、一個(gè)冰箱。”
