These Telemarketing calls at least for what I can say can actually keep you from receiving important calls. Because if you do not recognize the number on the caller id now you are force to ignore the call without knowing that it may be an important call from a family member or a life threaten situation.
I can understand that companies are trying to make a profit and sell their products by using this kind of method but they need to understand that these calls can get annoying. Even face to face solicitation can aggravate some people. Yes, these individuals need to make a living and bring home a paycheck but there are other kinds of jobs that they can apply for. It aggravates me more when you have people soliciting at a business where you have a “NO SOLICITATION” sign and they still come in to interrupt you or your customers.
I know that many companies use automated systems to call their customers when they have sells or promotions, but as far as I have come to encounter they actually ask you if it’s okay that they call you or email you. If you agree to the terms then they have you sign a form, they don’t just go randomly calling people.
Telemarketing has left a bad reputation that
