Whenever a phone sales person/selling windows or what ever and calls you in the middle of dinner, don't get sore. Don't slam down the receiver. Don't hang up.
Just say, "Hold on, please." Then gently set the receiver on the table and go about your business.
Why will this change the world? Because the sales person will hold on, too. While the sales person is on hold, he cannot bug you or other people in the middle of dinner, can he?
No, he can't.
Phone sales person makes money because one or two calls in every 100 actually listen to the sales pitch and buy something.
But what if each unsuccessful call took the sales person a few minutes instead of a few seconds? What if a phone sales person could make only a dozen calls per hour, instead of several hundred?
Then it would no longer be cost-effective to bother people in the middle of dinner, would it?
No, it wouldn't.
