Cold Calls
Monday, October 25, 2010
Everyone likes the idea of messing with a cold caller, by saying weird awkward things to them. As someone who makes a lot of calls for my job right now, I get all kinds of responses. (One from his weekend:)Me: Hi, I'm calling from Sierra Club about proposition 23.
Him: Ah, Sierra Club. They owe me a donkey.
Me: I'll see what I can do about that. Do you want to hear about prop 23?
Him: Well, I dunno. I'm a communist.
Me: Does that mean you can't vote against prop 23?
Him: I'll do it if you get me a wife. Or a donkey.
Me: Donkey barter for a No vote?
Him: I don't want to jump through any hoops for it though, ok?
I think I got him on board. :)
