REVENGE ON THE TELEMARKETER comments
REVENGE ON THE TELEMARKETER comments: As you may be able to tell this seems to be a generalisation by the initial author, not picking on anyone individually. There are numerous sites around the internet who show their love hate relationship about telemarketers who yes may be doing a job but the way most of them do not care and just ignore you and prattle on about anything really irks quite a lot of people. As for the Do not call register this should have been setup a long time ago not just this year, as the previous ADMA listings were not working.
Many people have had to change numbers frequently due to ignorance in the telemarketing industry, you start on 1 list and end up on thousands. Some people we know have had to get 3 - 5 new phone numbers a year costing an average of between AUD $165 and $275. On top of this having to change thousands of dollars of stationery getting 4 or so calls an hour makes it impossible to work efficiently.
As for getting personal a few years back an acquaintance and previous customer thought they were giving their daughter a leg up. They gave her their contact list as such she gave our number and many other peoples to each of her employers; who were telemarketers who proceeded to call us up for all and sundry that we were not interested in at which time we were on the ADMA do not call list. Being ever so polite we told them no thanks but we are not interested as 90% or so of people do. We did not try to get the initial caller fired or our ex friend who used to live at Nobby beach running holiday apartments whose name coincidentally was Thea.
Some of our best friends are telemarketers and they get a good laugh from REVENGE ON THE TELEMARKETER as they know it is meant to be funny and they do not hold it against us as we did not create it. As for the comments from Thea Westra about working as a telemarketer versus claiming unemployment benefits we whole heartedly agree if you can do it you should.
