im polite the first time, then i start to just hang up on them. if they persist after that i just tell em to **** off. same when you put a car in autotrader, those tossers who ring up all day with buyers for your car. I tell them to **** off too. I kind of enjoy it, they just go quiet on the phone and dont know what to say!
I had this when I sold my Supra, it was
Them: "we have lots of buyers lined up now for your car"
Me: "oh really, these people want my car and they come to you to find one?"
Them: "yes we offer that service"
Me: "do they have to pay for it?"
Them "yes"
Me: "are all your customers illiterate?"
Them: "I don't understand what you mean"
Me: "your customers must be illiterate, My car is in Autotrader, so surely it would be cheaper for them to have a look instead of paying you to do it?"
Them: "we take away all the hassle for the buyers and arrange finance etc"
Me: "okay well how much does this cost me?"
Them: "39 quid (or something like that) but we have guaranteed buyers lined up"
Me: "well i tell you what, when I sell my car through you i'll give you the 39 quid, if you can guarantee you'll sell it thats no problem then is it"
Them: "you have to pay first sir"
Me: "I don't think so, sell the car, then i'll pay you."
Them: "we can't do it like that sir, we have to take payment first then we put buyers in contact with you"
Me: "look PAL, i don't know what boat you think I sailed in on, but I know this is a ###### con, don't tell me you have loads of buyers who don't read the auto trader, but have heard of your stupid company and have PAID you to search for them, you must think people are stupid. Well i'm not and you have wasted enough of my time, now **** off"
Them: "we have got people line up though sir"
Me: "CLICK...dooooooooo"
I'm going to use that one next time I get a sales call.
