The telemarketer and me

Hello!


So while I was doing the previous post I got a call from Rogers telecommunications, apparently the call me to offer me the superduper package, sorry add-ons, basically they knew how my phones were being used and they wanted to offer me some solutions to save me money! Wow! Somebody cares about me. Well I told the lady right up front that I wasn't interested, heck I don't even use those phones they are used by my family, my wife, my kids and my brother who attends to my needs every day. Do you think she listened to me? Hell no! When I said no, she attacked me from the left instead of the right. She babbled on about some long-distance charges that were costing me $.35 a minute but with the plan I would only pay $.10 a minute, but wait there's more! She also opened my eyes to the call display issue, apparently I was paying for this and with the package I would be getting it free. So I asked her if she was saying that the package was free. People, don't ever throw a wrench at their machine to try to stop it, they just get mad and come back with a vengeance! She then went on to tell me I was also going to get free voicemail I just had to activate it. She asked me if I used voicemail, I told her that I didn't use the phones, that I was using some other carrier. Why did I say this? Why?


She then went on to tell me that I was still eligible for another phone with Rogers and that she could make me a good price on them. I told her that I wasn't interested that I was happy with my current provider, she then went back to what she had originally called for, the add-ons, she told me that she would bill me $18 this month but she was going to credit me $15, that I had 30 days to test the new features and if I didn't like them I could call Rogers and canceled them. WTF?! I just don't want them I said to her, I don't even use those phones! But she kept on insisting that these new add-ons were going to make my life easier. She kept on talking and talking and talking and in the end I got tired of hearing her and I just took the freaking plan, sorry add-ons, and said thank you. Yeah, thank you for ruining my freaking day! I swear it takes a very special kind of persons to work as a telemarketer, now I have to wait to my wife comes home so I can set up her voicemail and with my luck she's probably going to like it, well it's okay she's paying for it anyways!


Take care people!
