Allen, Thank you so much for these tidbits of wisdom. They are educational and enjoyable!!
Allen – I totally agree. Unfortunately, our home land line still gets lots of solicitation calls that no amount of caller ID screening and blocking technology seems to stop. Whenever someone begins a call with “How are you today?”, I get pissed. Has nobody in the outbound telemarketing industry learned that the polite thing to do is to identify onesself and one’s company at once and, if the person is a stranger, say, “I’m calling today about …” Otherwise, “How are you today?” telegraphs TELEMARKETER!
