All good/effective door to door sales (broadband, double glazing or eternal salvation) persons have to be the same. Very thick skinned and keep talking until the householder relents or shuts the door in your face. If you are especially keen (desperate for commission), keep talking to the door in case the householder opens it again to see whether you are still on the doorstep. Try and find that chink in the householders response that you can get into and twist until you make a sale. Customer says they can't afford it, pretend to offer a better, personalised deal / cheap credit. Customer not sure about the quality, here are some references from nearby residents. Customer needs to ask their partner, great excuse to keep coming back until the partner answers the door, then say the first partner said they wanted you to call back.
Didn't you introduce him to your G.S.D?
I had a no cold callers sign. It was often ignored. Obviously I wouldn't know if a potential caller did see it, take notice, and move onto the next house without bothering me. Oh, we are not doing sales, we are just advising about products, or making appointments.
He has phenomenal guarding instinct; he was right up on his hind legs - with me hanging on - when I opened the door. Our very own "nightclub bouncer"!I suppose you can only have a virginn around once be it male or female.
They are born again, like some other doorstep callers.
I would check the small print on those offers. When my last broadband deal was coming to a close, I had a look online at various providers. Incidentally CityFibre had quite recently installed a new fibre network in the area, so was looking for faster speeds at the same price or cheaper. I looked at one provider where the small print basically said I had to cancel my contract, pay any cancellation fee and they would reimburse upon production of receipts of any fees.
Why do you keep phoning me?
If he rings again with the same opener, It'll be something along the lines of "Why are we all here? What's our purpose? What's the answer to life, the universe, & well everything really?"
They have their own advent calendar. Every door tells them to xxxx xxx!
42. Six times nine.
Or ask him who left the three flusher down the toilet pan.
The people who turn up at your door rarely (if ever) work for the supplier.
So am I. I’ve been with Virgin Media (firstly NTL) for many years with little problem (kiss of death now I suppose). My current tariff ends in a couple of months so I’ll phone them up and see what they can do.
Not surprising. I used to love it but lost interest in an era when there should have been a psychedelic shirt with five sleeves for the rider with the best drugs.
Well, she was, sort of, wasn't she? Openreach is a wholly owned subsidiary of BT Group and, since 2017, a legally separate business, but they trade on behalf of BT plc. Openreach have their own distinct brand and are independently governed. Maybe she was too busy to explain all that.
No she wasn't. She was working for a separate company working on behalf of the BT ISP and she had absolutely nothing to do with the Openreach deployment, she was simply a cold caller trying to sell BT ISP contracts. And she certainly wasn't being sent round to investigate 'slow wireless problems' as part of Openreach either, that's nothing to do with Openreach's business.
I wouldn’t dream of trying to defend professional cyclings dark history, but what I will say is that cycling has tried hard to do something about it, as opposed to professional football for example in which cheating has not only become an accepted part of the sport, but almost encouraged. Trying to get an unfair advantage by whatever means is cheating.
Did you get to land an aeroplane though?
