Recall any of those random phone numbers that would ring up on your caller id? How about those telemarketers leaving those heartfelt messages about their new sales promotion on a $19.95 deal (fill in the blank---some kitchen cleaning product, oh, you know what I mean) that was originally 3x or 4x higher?
Yea. Those people. Now, take a brief moment, take a seat, adjust those specs, and try this: Put yourself in their shoes for a minute or so.
Hold that thought...okay, you're done! How'd that feel? Great and fun? Or, dreadful and exhausting? Most likely, the later.
For the past few days at the office, my co-workers and I have been busting out calls to promote an upcoming event. Oh, the responses are just what I imagined. For a minute you think the operator is still on the line, but then you pause and no response. After a few attempts to regurgitate the previous said sentences, I had to accept the inevitable response: Declination.
Now I know how it feels like to be "that guy." Ha.
Just two more weeks and it'll be over.
