"Yes I agree, we should boycott companies that export British jobs. When we are all unemployed because all the jobs have gone abroad..we wont be able to afford to buy their tat anyway! These companies are just greedy twatsi with no thought for the workers of this country!" That's all well and good but how will you motivate the great unemployed to take up home when they can earn the same if not more sat on their arse??? Watched a programme once where people leaving a job were offered a job picking in a field and the majority of answers were 'give it to the polish' | |||

"if there sales staff calling me why dont they speak 9 out 10 i usually hang up but i have 2 be sure 1 st" It isn't a person calling you, it's a machine, and when you answer the phone the call is then diverted to an operator. If they're all on a call already you get put onto a holding pattern. | |||

"As with all telesales staff, when they ring me trying to sell me something I turn it around and try to sell them double glazing - they usually hang up. " I used to do this myself. Double glazing, replacement windows and doors, conservatory awnings - "And would any of your colleagues be interested in a visit from a member of our sales team? Are you sure they wouldn't? Could you pass me over to one of them?" Now I just screen all calls between 6pm and 9pm. | |||

Unless you are a professional scrounger! | |||

"When we get these we put the phone by the TV so they can listen in. If they want to spend their money on wasted phone-time it's up to them. It's quite funny when the person comes on and tries to converse with the evening news report!" Now that's a good one lol.. I'll remember that next time | |||

" Most reputable British call centres will now present a CLI number that should at least serve you a recorded message explaining who's called. However, there are lots of callcentres who are either not DMA members, or are off shore and therefore hard to control. They're much more likely to produce ghost calls by overcooking their diallers. | |||

"I seam to get few of them in the evening they phone up an wait 30 secs, an hang up whats is the point in this; i am sure its the same 1 every few days; when I try to ring them back unlisted number. " Its an auto-dialler calling. If too many people have answered their phones, they may be no staff left for your call. If you call back, number will be unlisted, as it has come via a switchboard. As you have answered, you will be redialled periodically until someone does get to speak to you. It will almost certainly be from overseas. I would say that it is highly unusual that no-one is available to speak to you after several attempts, maybe they are short-staffed too! | |||

"As with all telesales staff, when they ring me trying to sell me something I turn it around and try to sell them double glazing - they usually hang up. " You can have a lot of fun with these people if it is a human. Try some of these; Keep saying "what do you want" over and over again until they swear at you or hang up. When you get those(usually scottish) saying "I'm ringing you on behalf of BT" say "do you work for BT?" They will insist they are working 'on behalf of BT' and the trick is to find out which company they actually work for then suggest that they have rung you under false pretenses and should go away. Ask for the harassers' home number and say you will ring them later to say whether you will buy the service or product on offer. When they question or refuse say "well you've got my number so it's only fair you give me yours" This is only a few examples of my repetoire. I'm sure there are those who will say that these people are only doing their job, well I'm sorry but if that job involves anonymously harassing me or mine particularly from some call center in india or the like, well, they should get another job. | |||

I would say that it is highly unusual that no-one is available to speak to you after several attempts, maybe they are short-staffed too!" Getting the dialler settings right can be hard work - the difficulty of the task is in inverse proportion to the number of staff you have on the floor at any given time. So you may have 40 seats with 100% occupancy, but if you set the dialler to run at a rate more suited to 50 seats, or if you have a wide variation in call length, then you'll get ghost calls. Used to be that the DMA standard for ghosts was 3% per shift - in my experience a 7.5% drop in occupancy or actual call times of 60% plus or minus the mean was likely to produce either ghost calls or staff sitting round waiting for the dialler to deliver the next call. | |||
