sales phone calls

[janet perry <perrybros@HOTMAIL.COM>]

I'm a little behind on my mail, but I thought I would share my experiences
with sales phone calls. I just tell them I'm not interested and hang up.  I
don't even let them get too far in their pitch.  As for interrupting them, I
don't worry about it.  After all, they interrupted whatever I was doing.  I
DO make sure I am polite (which I am not always at home).  The first year I
was working here, my principal called me in to say that a salesman had
called him to report that I had been rude to him on the phone! So...I
decided I needed to be polite to protect my job.  Not that I believe in
using foul language or anything, but... Even Ann Landers says that people
have phones for their own convenience, and that sales calls are an
intrusion.  Thanks for listening.
