I always wonder about people who devise these elaborate 'strategies' for dealing with telemarketers. It makes me think that they have nothing better to do with their free time. I mean, I'm getting paid to sit and talk on the phone all day. What's your excuse?
Also, I can complete a sale using entirely yes or no questions with only positive responses. Keep that in mind the next time you decide to try this.
Jinn, I'm inclined to say that if sales were a rare enough event that you got excited about them either your product sucked or you're not a very good salesman.
Bottom line is this 'strategy' really doesn't do very much at all other than waste a few minutes of your day. The guy on the other side of the phone is getting paid regardless and therefore probably doesn't care.
