Natural, Sounds like a pretty fool proof method to me. If your phone has a call number display feature, then you can tell whether or not the call is coming from someone you know. If the display indicates that the call is not coming from someone that you know, then refusal to pick would appear to be a sensible course of action. They will leave a message if it's really important. Andrews last blog post..‘Do not call’ means don’t call

Tom, Welcome, thanks for stopping by. I don't think anyone would seriously listen to this 'moron' as you put it. But you do raise an interesting point, and I wish that telemarketers would just get straight to the point instead of wasting time with their usual spiel.

Brad, I personally feel that 'follow up' with respect to charities, should be on an 'opt in' basis, and that charities should only contact donors and prospective donors on a regular basis where people have indicated a desire to be contacted in relation to such matters. That said, I do not dispute the value of charity, and we must, of course, bear in mind that they do need to secure funding somehow, particularly in difficult times.

That is hilarious actually. Hi what we are doing now is illegal but you gotta hear this once in a lifetime opportunity. Are you kidding me, I mean they actually took 2 minutes of your time to tell you all that jumble. If i were you I would just say, no you may not. Its not that but the fact that they don't know how to sell either. I mean look around, when people look at ads or commercials, it takes seconds to realize if its good or not. How is anyone going to listen to this moron talk smack for 2 minutes. toms last blog post..Need vs. Want

Hi Andrew, Our experience with DNC is about like Karen's. We are close to getting rid of our land line, partly as a response to these ridiculously intrusive calls. I don't know the statistics, but I wonder if charities shoot themselves in the foot with their constant barrage of phone and mail solicitation that kicks in with a first-time gift. There are several charities I no longer contribute to simply because I want to avoid their unnecessary follow up. Brad Shorrs last blog post..9 Ways to Discover Your Marketing Purpose

Hi Mitch, Let's hope your re-registration 're-minds' these companies that they are not supposed to be calling you! Andrews last blog post..‘Do not call’ means don’t call

I'm supposedly on the Do Not Call registry myself, but lately we've been getting more of these calls so I re-registered again yesterday. However, likeKaren, I'm really not sure how well anyone complies. Mitchs last blog post..Some Random Thoughts

Karen, I agree wholeheartely that there are far more effective marketing methods. I'm glad to hear that your life does not feel too empty without those telesales calls! Andrews last blog post..‘Do not call’ means don’t call
