Three Little Words that Work!!!
1.) The three little words are: 'Hold On, Please...'
Saying this while putting the phone down and walking off (instead of hanging up immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt.
Then when you eventually hear the phone company's 'beep-beep-beep', you know that it's time to go back and hang up the handset, which has efficiently completed its task.
These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.
2.)Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end?
This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes a phone call and records the time of day when a person answers the phone. This technique is used to determine the best time of the day for a 'real' salesperson to call back and get someone at home.
What you do after answering, if you notice that there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting the # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly as possible. This confuses the machine that dialed the call and kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer!
3.) Junk Mail help:
When you get 'ads' enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these 'ads' with the payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away.
When you get those 'pre-approved' letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope. Most come with post-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them more than the regular 41 cents postage 'IF' and when they receive them back. It costs them nothing if yo throw them away! The postage was around 50 cents before the last increase and it is according to weight. In that case why not get rid of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage paid envelopes.
Send and ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their blank application back! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them. You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them. The banks and credit card companies are curently getting a lot of thier own junk back in the mail, but we need to OVERWHELM them. Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all they're paying for it...Twice!! Lets help keep our postal service busy since they are saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need to increase postage costs again. You get the idea!
