I literally used a chess clock once to see how much they talk versus how much I talk, 4 minutes in an hour is all I got to speak.
okay that's hilarious. I gotta do this at work
All you
gothad to speak. You didn't really want more, did you?For most of these calls, letting them have their say is the goal for both of you.
On your side that might just be because it helps prevent another phone call later, but good enough.
On their side, they made the call, so they either enjoy calling or they got all prepared and need to get it out.
Any follow-up you have can be done the decent way, by typing.
I got a VOIP phone number included in my ISP bundle. Only my MIL uses to call my wife and we don't use it or give it out. Heck I don't even know (or care) what the number is. But EVERY telemarketer knows that number.
IOW: Bell Canada sells the phone numbers it provides to telemarketers.
Literally on one of these calls right now.
I let my email fill up and now my outgoing msg is "if you need to reach me, it's best to text".
That's why I simply never pick up the phone! You can speak to my voicemail first :)
