WTF? I clicked to watch this and it was a video of some asian people performing some songs on stage. weird. it seems fine now though.

I just ask them to hang on for a moment then never come back to the phone.

Great post!

gorillaman, I'd love to try that. AFAIK, the reps aren't allowed to hang up on you (but they probably would in that situation, don't you think?) So you could always try and make a conversation with them about BS (like that one I saw about that guy acting like he was suicidal, or handing the phone over to someone who just won't shut up)

Anyhow, here's a counterscript http://www.xs4all.nl/~egbg/counterscript.html

I heard a sound clip once of a guy pretending to be an investagator at a crime scene and was threatening to put the marketer in jail if he hung up under charges of interfearing with an investigation. It was hillarious.

Yeah that one is GOLD. GENIUS: http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Telemarketer-didnt-have-a-script-for-this-call

Hehe...the bob and tom show...*listens to that every morning*

I like this scene but I remember my first job in high school, calling people for market research (bad, I know, but I didn't know any better), literally one out of every five people I'd call would repeat this as if they'd thought it up themselves. A few times I said, "sure! Give me a call around 9 - my number is xxx-xxxx" and they wouldn't know what to say next.
