McGoatski Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Keep this near your phone, it`s a flow chart thingy. Tells you what to say and ask based on what the annoying twat on the other end of the phone says to you.http://www.xs4all.nl/~egbg/counterscript.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripey Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 my numbers end in 81' date=' 82, 83, 84, 85, 86 and 87 so it could be coincidence[/quote']These companies just have software that calls numbers in sequence, if it detects a human voice then you get put through to a callcenter operator.

catherine Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 or like space kitchens we sat with a bit of paper with the numbers 00-99 writen down and we took an aberdeen number and changed the last digits and called them all.....

Stray Cat Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I worked for a telesales company for about 2 weeks when I was 16. We were just handed a page that the supervisor had previously ripped out of a phone book. I used to laugh for hours at some of the responses I got. "Fuck off, I'm having my tea" was a good one.

Bodast Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I just started working in a call centre, because you don't need to speak Czech to work there. Unfortunately I get paid about 2.50 an hour (fortunately that's quite good salary here) and I love anyone who'll say something interesting to me even if it's nasty... most people just refuse to do our 'survey'. The Serbian guy who I sit next to is cool though, "Please? It's just a survey! Come on, it can be fun! It's not about homeownership any more, it's about me, LJ! Please talk to me!"
