| When telebugs bite stars... | |||||||||||||
| Tring Tring…Hello?. ....Not again! I'm not interested in any schemes…..Don' t disturb me!.……What the *%#$........ BANG! No prizes for guessing that we're talking about pesky telemarketers. Even you must have been a victim of these deadline-marked sales people who try cracking a deal with anyone and everyone! They have mastered the act of bugging their customers as well as prospective customers to death. Tellychakkar. com talks to a few actors from tellyland, who had similar encounters. Here we give you their reactions which literally goes to show how their patience has been tested!
"I get frustrated" They call me all the time. I would be lying if I say I don't get frustrated, but I try and keep my cool. I am very civil with them for the simple reason that when I was studying in US, I did telemarketing too. So I exactly know what these callers go through and trust me it's a lot of hardwork.
"She started asking me questions about my sex life..." It's so irritating! I am very rude to them as they refuse to understand when I tell them, 'later'! I recall this incident when a girl from a cellular service provider called me explaining her scheme and got to know that she is talking to Bobby Darling. Later she started asking me questions about my sex life and wanted to know how I feel being a woman. All I did was abuse abuse and only abuse!
"I am not interested.. ." They always call me when I am in the middle of something. Before they can finish saying that they are calling from so and so, I interrupt and tell them that I am not interested.
"Their schemes never help me..." I get frustrated all the time! And their schemes never help me. They just go on saying that they will take only five minutes but I cut them off saying, 'no thank you I don't need anything!'
"I have done it all in 1995!" I just tell them to grow up! We have done it all. I used to call up people in 95' using my marketing tactics. And telemarketing is now used in all fields these days. So every second hour we have someone or the other calling up.
"I try to keep my cool" I hate attending their calls, as they call at any hour of the day. They just refuse to understand that we are busy people and have loads of pressure throughout the day! It gets on to my nerves, but I try and keep my cool. |
