I received a telemarketing call today. When will telemarketers ever learn? I first get the silence as their auto-dialing software realizes I picked up the line so it transfers me to a call center rep. Then he mispronounces my last name and company name. That’s 3 strikes right there. But I’m usually interested in the pitches of others, especially cold callers, so I told him to continue. He was pitching mailing machines. I told him we do everything electronically and weren’t interested. So he looked at his script and asked, “Can I send you an email about our services?” To his credit, he laughed with me after realizing how absurd his question was. If they don’t use their own service how can they expect their customers to?
