I cannot stand telemarketers. At some point, I need/want them to realize that I am not going to buy anything from them. In my 31 years of being an adult and having a phone, I have never purchased a single item from a telemarketer. I do not plan to ever purchase anything from a telemarketer with whatever remaining years I have left.
Despite my wishes, they still call and disrupt my family and our time. No matter how many “Do Not Call” lists I sign up for and numbers I block, they always find a way to call us, get our names wrong, and take away some of my time that I will never get back.
If I do not recognize the number on my caller ID, I do not pick up the phone. If you call and do not leave a message, your number is automatically blocked. If you were not a telemarketer, why would you call me and not leave a message? What was so “unimportant” that you had to call me anyway?
I am more likely to purchase something from an email telemarketer. If I get an email and see something that I like, need, and want, I am prone to purchasing it… of course, only if it fits the budget. Why, because emails do not disrupt my day. Since they have a title line, I know who they are from before I read them. They do not pressure me into making a decision before I hang up and allow me to do the research that I want to do before making a purchase.
Email marketing does not talk back when I say not interested. These emails do not disrupt my day, interrupt our dinners, or make us pause the movie as we wait to see if the person leaves a message. I can delete them at my leisure. So stop wasting my time and send me an email instead, that way I can delete you later.
