Did you know that people who understand telemarketing are actually in very high demand within established businesses?

Mostly every single business enterprise, (internet or not) must use a phone to close or establish or verify a sale?

Indeed, if you are in business: you need to use your phone to close or confirm a deal or sale. And if you do it right, you can add revenue to your efforts. And if you do it wrong, you will cost yourself time and money.

One day, I was talking on the phone...
And it occurred to me, that if I can talk on the phone, I can earn a bunch with a regular job. And pay all my bills and keep a roof over my head.

When I was in my early twenties, I was hired by a home improvements company to cold call home owners and persuade them to accept an appointment with one of our sales reps.

The team and department were state of art for the time (the early 80's). They were agressive too. One of their rallying calls in the room was, "Jam those granny's". They meant of course, "write those appointments". But this was a telemarketing operation.

I eventually decided that I was a good enough telemarketer to find another job so I would not have to jam grannys. I was not comfortable calling people at their houses anyway.
