Look, I sold home heating oil via telemarketing many years ago in college. I get it. There is no sense wasting time on a call that will go nowhere but it is done over and over and over. The perception of telemarketing, which has never been great, has been destroyed by excess. There are too many calls, no respect for do not call lists, and international callers (often with robocall scams). Not all surveys are the same either. Sales calls can start as survey-sounding before the sales pitch. Surveys are also sometimes conducted by left or right leaning political groups who want a donation or a chance to attempt brainwashing. All these calls get lumped together by people who are tired of them as a whole.

No, bullshit. One call is not okay, and even if it were, that's one call from your company (or two calls, since you think two is okay), multiplied by the roughly 3,471,693 other telemarketing firms, scams, political calls, etc... I honestly hope the entire industry dies in a fire. Not the people, of course, but the companies themselves, yes.

Anyone legit has to tell you where they are calling from and has to offer the option to be added to a DNC database, we have a one button press option for agents to hit when someone requests to not be called back, it's really easy to implement. Sales disguised as research is issue number one for us as a business, we had places shut down that do this but they keep popping up and it drives us insane as the public is very suspicious of us when we are 100pc above board. |

I don't see how web polls are bad and skewed, but obnoxious spam call polls are legit and fantastic? I mean.... I do not know a single person that would pickup the phone from a number they don't know and much less talk to a spammer if they did. Maybe some bored grandmas.... totally not a skewed system.

It's pretty clear that everyone but you wants your industry to die in a fire. You should maybe find a new job. Unless you like getting less respect than a used car salesman.

Just be glad your packages weren't delivered like one of mine was. The idiot left the package up against my garage door. The fool couldn't walk the extra 20 feet to leave it at my front door. And me not expecting the package and couldn't see it when I got in my car, proceed to run it over. Fortunately, I didn't pull out very fast and heard the noise of the box dragging across the ground. It was miraculous the item inside the box wasn't damaged.
