Comebacks To Unsolicited Sales Callers
Comebacks To Unsolicited Sales Callers
Here are some suggested comebacks to unsolicited, persistent telephone sales callers: ~ "I'm sorry, but I'm really busy right now. Give me your home number and I'll call you back later tonight." ~ In the middle of the caller's memorized sales pitch, interrupt with: "What causes a hiccup?" ~ "Shhh. Wait a minute. I'm here robbing the house. Whoa! I think the owners just got home. Can you hold?" ~ When someone asks whether a spouse is at home: "Yes, but I never allow him/her to talk to strangers." ~ When someone asks how you are: "Well, I'm having an existential crisis at the moment. Let me explain . . ." ~ "You want to sell me insurance? I've been trying to get insurance for years, but nobody will sell me any!" ~ Another response to rug-cleaners or any person offering home services: (Break into tears and say) "Is this some kind of joke? My house burned down last night! We lost everything!" ~ To a phone company solicitor: "That sounds GREAT! Wait, can you hold for a minute?" (Leave the phone off the hook until he/she hangs up.) ~ Use your touch-tone phone to annoy the caller by playing "Mary Had a Little Lamb": 6-5-4-5 6-6-6 5-5-5 6-6-6. 6-5-4-5 6-6-6-6 5-5-6-5 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 :11: |
