GIVE TELEMARKETERS A CHANCE! (lol) and a joke for you guys..

MY APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS RECIEVED A CALL ON BEHALF OF SKY... :)


I use to work for a telemarketing company and yeah ok i must admit we can get on someone nerves but people come on think about it.. lol we need to earn money as well!! For the whole time i was employed there all i did was advertise sky channels. i must say it did get boring and yes im telling you now that THERE IS A CATCH!! its all a lie when they say NO THERE IS NOT CATCH.. (ok i really shouldnt be telling you this)... BUT I WILL since im no longer there!! THANK GOD

anyways.. so it works like this..
"Hi may i speak to blabla...... yes hold on OR yes speaking."
"Hello, my names maria calling on behalf of sky tv how r tonight?"
(i either get a good thank you how are you?? or a "GET LOST... beep beep beep".. and i kid you not a work mate has had a F*** OFF!)
"now the reason for my call is to offer you the rialto channel free for one month with no obgligations to continue afterwards... yada yada yada.. they say yes.. we hook them on now the thing is WE DONT CANCEL IT AT THE END.. THE CUSTOMER HAS TO.. lol either way they get charged for it coz you get billed one month in advance so its already on ur bill and trustttttt me its a headache trying to get in touch with sky NOT US to get it removed.. lol so be aware.. yeah there always has to be a catch.



im sure u guys will enjoy this joke...

Yes, I've been there more than once (but I've persevered and badgered 'til I got my money back). And the flaming Rialto channel is so inconsistent - they always have a knack of offering the free trial on a month when it turns out there's nowt worth watching... occasionally, when I'm not subscribing to it, I look at the listings and suddenly it looks like a fantastic channel. I was so envious back in the UK to see that Film Four (similar market, way more reliable) is now available on free-to-air digital. But then again, they have small houses and too much traffic over there...
