They call me here in Indiana too. The guy gets real hateful towards the end of his pitch and I tell him I'm not interested. Last time he called me a "one-horse chicken sh- outfit" when I told him I wouldn't use a 4 gross case of sawzall blades this year.

Check out the name of the president of the company that has obnoxious telemarketers...that is hilarious!!!!!!!!!


Mainland Supply Company
Mike Nice - President
Patrick Hoey - Vice President
Pete Johnson - Director of Sales

I hope he calls when I am home!!!! I have telemarketers for lunch!

Sparky,

Thanks Bill,
pardon my cyber-naiveity

I guess i need a few tips on telemarketers, i've made the mistake in trying to rationalize with thm. Case in point, they were trying to sell me wirenuts and did not understand rating/listing is a factor.

Should i buy a whistle??

I brought this up back in May. Same outfit. How could they do ANY business?

I usually hang up on them, but the Sawzall blades is a classic... They wanted me to buy 4 dozen of these ' beauties ' lifetime guarantee.. so I asked him if they have a lifetime guarantee why do I need more than one, then he hung up on me...

Nice!

I'll have to remember that one!

This is where the hold button shows it's true value. I politely put them on hold...forever.
